Fictionalized account of the events which lead to the 1996 murder
of journalist Veronica Guerin. Sinead Hamilton (Joan Allen) is a
reporter employed by the Irish Sunday Globe. In the course of her
work she becomes interested in the possibility of exposing the
corruption which allows Dublin's drug lords to lead the lives of
respectable businessmen, and of working towards a reform of
Ireland's notoriously ineffective criminal laws. But her
investigations earn her some enemies in high places, and Sinead
soon receives threats to her own well-being.
Is equality possible in the 21st century? In The Inequality of
Wealth, Liam Byrne, a former Treasury minister in Gordon Brown’s
government, argues that the economics of the next ten years will be
critical in determining the answer to this question – and the
nature of all our futures. Surveying five centuries of British
capitalism and the damage wrought by the socially divisive policies
of the last ten years, Byrne warns that we’re fast approaching a
point of no return beyond which we bequeath to Generation Z a
dystopian future of irreversible rifts between the super-rich and
the rest that erodes the internal bonds of once united countries
and triggers the failure or the fracturing of nations. Yet it
doesn't need to be like this. Change is now happening so fast that
we’re seeing the stuff of science fiction become a reality in our
own lives. The future won't be land of milk and honey but it could
be a place where we live longer, happier healthier and wealthier
lives. But only if we master new ways of sharing wealth without war
or revolution. Liam Byrne draws on conversations and debates with
former prime ministers, presidents and policymakers around the
world together with experts at the OECD, World Bank, and IMF to
argue that, after twenty years of statistics and slogans, it's time
for solutions that aren’t just radical but plausible and
achievable as well.

Noah spends his nights drifting between North London pubs and music
venues, and his days sleeping off hangovers in the stock room of
the floundering record shop where he works. He tries not to think
about what will happen when his NHS-allocated therapy hours run out
and he's left alone with his mind again. After years away, his
favourite band Smiling Politely announce a last-minute set in a
nearby venue and everything starts to shift. When the crowd turns
violent, Noah runs into the street and meets Dylan, the charming
local barman he's never had the courage to approach. Pulled into a
toxic and co-dependent relationship with Dylan and his brooding,
enigmatic friend Fraser, Noah bounces distractedly between sweaty
gigs and clubs, swapping beds and friends along the way. The
upcoming Smiling Politely album is a beacon of hope for Noah who
craves the connection he finds in their music yet lacks elsewhere,
but he has to ask himself what he's willing to lose - friendships,
dignity, even his sense of self - to just feel like he belongs.

Documentary about the career of Britpop band Oasis. Growing up on a
Manchester council estate, brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher started
their journey as Oasis in 1991. They hit the peak of their fame in
1996 as they played their home ground of Manchester City and two
consecutive nights at Knebworth. The band went on to become one of
the most successful acts of the time, achieving seven number one
albums and 24 top ten singles. Throughout their career the band
found themselves the subject of many controversies including
several legal battles over plagiarism as well as being outspoken
about their views on politics and the media. After a very public
split in 2009 the brothers went their separate ways leaving behind
hours of footage put together in this documentary by director Mat
Whitecross.
Media has a great influence on the perceptions and opinions of the
public throughout varying areas, particularly for crimes,
investigations, and trials. People receive information about these
key events through some form of media, and the way the facts are
represented is crucial to what people will believe. To fully
understand the sway media has on public opinion, further study is
required. Cases on Crimes, Investigations, and Media Coverage
examines famous crime cases and the media coverage that surrounded
them including film, television, and wider media coverage of major
crimes, such as murders, the investigations that followed, and the
subsequent trials. Covering critical topics such as press coverage,
television, biases, news, perceptions, and film, this reference
work is ideal for criminal justice professionals, forensics
specialists, criminal justice advocates, journalists, media
professionals, psychologists, sociologists, researchers, scholars,
academicians, practitioners, instructors, and students.
