We have it on the very best but very secret source that Trump has clandestine plans to return the Statue of Liberty to the French as soon as he returns to the White House. Amongst his followers, Trump has been heard to say the statue no longer reflects our pure white values.  Some also say he’s been secretly heard to confide to his Maga Mites: “Give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses from shithole countries like Hell we would.  Thanks but no thanks."

Truth be told, Trump clearly refutes the claim that the U.S. should be the champion of the poor and the dispossessed, a nation that draws its strength from its pluralism. The true gospel according to Trump: America’s greatness is the result of its white and Christian origins. Institutions stand diluted by a stream of alien blood, with all its inherited misconceptions respecting the relationships of the governing power to the governed,”. His government is dedicated to permanently halting the unalloyed welcome to all peoples. 

There are a lot of anonymous bureaucrats that man the offices in the nation’s capital. If one were to mention the name Wendy Sherman at a Washington DC cocktail gathering it is likely that few in the room will have ever heard of her, but she has long been one of the most important players in Democratic Party administrations when it comes to foreign policy in key parts of the world. Sherman, the Deputy Secretary of State, will be retiring this summer after more than thirty years with the Foreign Service. She has been a fixture in often controversial top level policy making since Bill Clinton was in the White House, where she served as a top adviser to Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, also taking on the role of lead negotiator in the ultimately unsuccessful talks to stop North Korea’s ballistic missile program in the late 1990s.

One year after the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, the documentary takes us to the heart of combat through this war diary made during the second half of 2022. From Kharkiv and Bakhmut to Kherson, in the aftermath of the city’s liberation, this documentary bears witness to the ravages of war through the testimonies of soldiers, chronicles of the front and portraits of civilians, and shares with us the struggle of the Ukrainian people.

February 24 marked the one-year anniversary of Russia’s war against Ukraine. "Slava Ukraini" is an ode to the courageous civil society and armed forces of Ukraine. And it's a passionate call to action for the West to continue delivering support to Ukraine with increasing urgency and solidarity.
