BEST OF 2019: FILMS & TV.

 

THE BEST OF

2019

It was a year of inspiration as we watched Greta Thunberg’s outrage over climate change. There was tragedy in a mosque in New Zealand. An election in Britain might just see Brexit happen in 2020. Trump was impeached. Notre Dame burned. The Amazon was on fire. Bushfires raged in Australia. Julian Assange left the Ecuadorian embassy. We all watched with great concern as residents of Hong Kong braved the streets in defiance of the Chinese Communist Party.
