About Kid Drag Queens spark Controversy - Are they too Young for Drag? | Drag Kids (Documentary, 2019)

Stephan, Nemis, Bracken and Jason are very different kids living in very different parts of the world, but they’re united by a deep love of drag. Fiery Stephan, 9 (aka Laddy Gaga) lives with his British ex-pat family in the south of Spain, where his explosive performances can’t be contained by their villa, so he has started performing at tourist restaurants. Shy Jason, 11 (aka Suzanbee Anthony) lives in the US Bible Belt where racism and homophobia are rampant, but his chosen family have formed a protective circle around him that allows his sassy alter-ego to blossom. Precocious Bracken, 11 (House of Gvasalia) lives in Vancouver, where she struggles for acceptance as a ‘hyperqueen’ (a female drag queen), and for opportunities to connect in the 19+ world of Drag Shows. The next day is the Vogue Ball, and for all but Nemis, it will be the Kids’ first chance to battle on the runway. There are surprise victories, devastating losses (with accompanying hissy fit) and one grand prize triumph. ------- Chapters ▷ 0:00:00 - Intro ▷ 0:01:20 - Stephan aka

Sex Robots as Emotional Companions: Created to Please or to Love? | Robolove (Documentary, 2019)

ROBOLOVE reflects on the strategies of men and women involved with the creation of humanoid, android robots. Robots that will perhaps one day expand the human body and the human life. From an exciting variety of perspectives we understand the immense complexity of this topic. Featuring Japanese robotics guru, Hiroshi Ishiguro, to the transhumanist, Natasha Vita More - and many more. While the difference between humans and androids is gradually washing away, the tension between technology and social responsibility is growing as much as utopian visions are further expanding. From this mosaic, a tense ambivalence emerges, that questions these futuristic technologies – and is full of love for those who dare to create these new machines that try to mirror our humanness. ------- Chapters ▷ 00:00 - Introduction ▷ 02:31 - Hiroshi Ishiguro, humanoid robots ▷ 07:28 - Otonaroid ▷ 09:56 - Building androids ▷ 18:48 - Sex Robots ▷ 27:49 - Emotional companion ▷ 37:53 - Computers in a church ▷ 40:17 - Aoi Erica ▷ 44:47 - "Neutral" Cyberspace ▷ 50:40 - Pepper ▷ 57:42 - Artificial Eternity

Margaret Thatcher: The Iron Lady Who Changed Britain Forever (Documentary, 2012)

The major film The Iron Lady features a critically acclaimed performance by Meryl Streep as British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher – The Iron Lady of the Western World. From her humble beginnings as a Grocer’s daughter from Grantham, Margaret Thatcher fought her way through the murky world of politics, the sexist prejudices of the Conservative Party elite and the scepticism of the British electorate to become the greatest British Prime Minister since Winston Churchill. Although Margaret Thatcher broke down the barriers and became a pathfinder for a new generation of women in politics, she was not averse to using her good looks and sexuality to help convince other leaders that hers was the right course of action. It was not for nothing that French Premier Francois Mitterrand said that she had ‘the eyes of Caligula and the mouth of Marilyn Monroe’. But most of all Margaret Thatcher was a conviction politician. Never scared of criticism or negative opinion polls, she fought for what she believed was right and just: whether that was fighting against the Argentine invasion of the Falklands
