About The Choice We’re Not Allowed to Make | The Right to Die | ENDEVR Documentary

Laura’s Choice: A Joyous End of Life | ENDEVR Documentary (2021) Laura Henkel is eccentric, outspoken, feisty, and 90 years old. She has decided she wants to end her life on her own terms. She does not have a terminal illness; she wants to be in control of the process and be allowed to go with dignity. She applies to a clinic in Switzerland, and asks her daughter Cathy and granddaughter Sam, both filmmakers, to document her journey. Laura’s Choice explores complex questions as three generations of women travel into uncharted territory and navigate a radical, dignified and highly controversial approach to dying. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ENDEVR explains the world we live in through high-class documentaries, special investigations, explainers, videos, and animations.

Girls make a comeback - What India and China are doing about the women shortage

For decades, many families in India and China did not want daughters. Girls were often aborted, killed as infants, abandoned, or sold. But in recent years, things have started to change. Political decisions aimed at curbing rapid population growth in India and China, together with a widespread preference for boys for economic reasons, have led to a situation where both countries now have more men than women. Again and again, the preference for sons over daughters caused families to resort to radical measures, ranging from sex-selective abortions to infanticide, the abandonment of girls, and, in China, the sale of girls after birth. As early as 1990, Indian economist Amartya Sen, who would later win the Nobel Prize in Economics, warned that more than 100 million women were "missing" in the developing world, and especially in India and China, in the ratio to men. Today, many men in China and India are unable to find wives due to the shortage of women. That is one of the factors that has led to a shift in thinking in both countries—both in politics

The Private Equity Playbook | How Private Equity Bought Everyday Life | Moconomy Originals

Private equity firms have become some of the most powerful forces in the global economy. This documentary examines how leveraged buyouts, sale-leasebacks, dividend recapitalizations and carried interest have reshaped companies, workers, hospitals, nursing homes, newspapers and communities. From Toys “R” Us and Red Lobster to Steward Health Care and the collapse of local journalism, the story reveals a financial model built on debt, extraction and limited accountability. Synopsis In 2005, Toys “R” Us was still a profitable company with billions in revenue. But after a private equity buyout loaded it with debt, the company was left with little room to invest, adapt or survive. Its collapse became a case study in a much larger financial playbook. This documentary follows that playbook across the American economy: from retail bankruptcies and restaurant chains to nursing homes, hospitals and local newspapers. It explains how leveraged buyouts transfer risk onto the companies being acquired, how sale-leasebacks turn businesses into tenants of their own buildings, how dividend recapitalizations extract cash through new debt, and how carried interest rewards fund managers with favorable tax treatment.
