Thanks Jordan! I love interviews too. We are on foreign language month at home, so I'll add this to the list! Each month we select a genre out of a hat and then my husband and I take it in turns to choose something within that genre. It has saved a lot of time as we used to argue over what to watch. And it's forcing us to be more diverse.

That’s a great idea! It’s so easy to get stuck in a rut scrolling on Netflix and settling for what you’re served. I was really struck by what Jhoti said in the interview about the algorithm only showing you films and TV similar to the kinds of things you’ve watched on there already. A big risk that audiences at large will never investigate stories outside their wheelhouse.

Yes, exactly. And it's hard to find stuff as it's spread on so many different platforms. We've only just started this new system but so far, so good.

Thanks for this Jordan - will save until after I've watched the film. It's interviews and featured like this that I personally really valued from TF - not just the commercial releases and never highbrow with it 👍🏾

Thanks Sach. Hope you like the film, and I always loved that about TF too. A rare space to talk about the films that get little-to-no focus online. Certainly something we’d like to continue at TWM.
