Creation of high-quality advertising is a work of talented creative team; and this process has ...

For a moment there I grappled with whether to critique Mellody Hobson’s Ted Talk, “Color Blind or Color Brave?” because of its powerful content and almost impeccable delivery, but Lupita Nyong’o’s speech on Black Beauty at the 7th Annual Essence Black Women in Hollywood seduced me by its honesty, its content, its simplicity and its quiet power. Despite a runny nose that would have normally been overly distracting, Nyong’o wields her audience past the sniffles in to her story, to her inadequacies, her hope, her conquest, her triumph and to a call to action.

The peculiarity of this director's narrative is inherent in all of his films, but here he surpassed himself. Merging in one movie two different approaches – the artistic and documentary one was an unmatched idea. At least, hardly anyone else came across this symbiosis.

I believe that his film was a key moment in the struggle to save the antelope Chiru, not only in China but ...
