Dreams of a Life trailer
Would anyone miss you? Nobody noticed when Joyce Vincent died in her bedsit above a shopping mall in North London in 2003. Her body wasn’t discovered for three years, surrounded by Christmas presents she had been wrapping, and with the TV still on. Newspaper reports offered few details of her life— not even a photograph.
Interweaving interviews with imagined scenes from Joyce’s life, Dreams of a Life is an imaginative, powerful, multilayered quest, and is not only a portrait of Joyce but a portrait of London in the eighties—the City, music, and race. It is a film about urban lives, contemporary life, and how, like Joyce, we are all different things to different people. It is about how little we may ever know each other, but nevertheless, how much we can love.

Rather, a thorough grounding in logic, reason and problem-solving – coupled with the empowerment and inspiration that being able to harness technology to our personal advantage brings – will result in a smarter workforce, more engineers, innovators and managers that better understand technology, and a better quality of life for all.
So let’s teach the kids to code. All of them. Did I say that already? It’s really not that hard.
Fire In Babylon (2010)
This is a story about the West Indies cricket team and their ascent to the top of the world. The story starts with the political climate of the 1970s and the effect of the black power movement and how they were reacting to the things happening in their own countries, as well as blacks on the global stage within the African diaspora.
This story is at its core, a sports movie about cricket. The West Indies team was an entertaining but inconsistent squad but after a failed trip in Australia, the team got serious and the tide turned. The different segments are interspersed by different singers from throughout the Caribbean, which gives it a flavor and shows how impactful these guys are decades after their ascent.
Fire In Babylon is a fun glimpse into a bygone era when the little island nations of the Caribbean to united to rise to the top of the world of cricket.
Even if you don’t like cricket or know much about it, you’ll appreciate this story if you like sports movies like Remember The Titans or stuff like that. This is way better though.

I know I have no right to feel this way
I’ll snap out of it
I know I’m not thinking straight
I’m not being serious
