  A crucial component of anti-Black racism is the unconscionable disparity in health outcomes between Black and white Americans. Sickening examines this institutionalized inequality through dramatic, concrete events from the past two decades, revealing how unequal living conditions and inadequate medical care have become routine. 
   
   
   
  From the spike in chronic disease after Hurricane Katrina to the lack of protection for Black residents during the Flint water crisis—and even the life-threatening childbirth experience for tennis star Serena Williams—author Anne Pollock takes listeners on a journey through the diversity of anti-Black racism operating in healthcare. She goes beneath the surface to deconstruct the structures that make these events possible, including mass incarceration, police brutality, and the hypervisibility of Black athletes' bodies. Ultimately, Sickening shows what these shocking events reveal about the everyday racialization of health in the United States. 
   
   
   
  Concluding with an examination of racialized healthcare during the COVID pandemic and the Black Lives Matter rebellions of 2020, Sickening cuts through the mind-numbing statistics to vividly portray healthcare inequalities. In a gripping style, Pollock shows the devastating reality and consequences of systemic racism on the lives and health of Black Americans.

  Contemporary scientifically-informed culture investigates the phenomenal world revealed to our mind, senses and technical instruments. Non-duality looks within to the nature of the experiencing subject. Both spring from the need to know, grow and fulfil the supreme potential of human beings, who find the universe apparently manifesting consciousness as themselves. Non-duality offers a path of enquiry into the metaphysical questions underlying physics, and scientific discoveries shed light on what is universal and essential in the non-dual teachings to be found at the heart of all the great wisdom traditions.

  'Captivating, mind-boggling and deeply disturbing' – Maureen Freely 
  'Humane, thoughtful and urgent — this book will make you think, make you laugh, make you cry, but also make you burn with rage' – Dr Mary Wellesley 
  A thought-provoking deep dive into the global fertility industry and the commodification of the maternal body 
  Should surrogacy be a paid service, an altruistic act – or even legal at all? 
  Is it right that you can pay more for ‘VIP’ egg donors – and to view their photos? 
  How much, if anything, should breastmilk cost – and who should be allowed to buy it? 
  The global fertility industry is rapidly growing, hugely profitable and morally complex. This an industry where one person’s biological bad luck can be another person’s financial gain. From egg freezing to black-market breastmilk, the maternal body has never been more commodified, yet the ethical, emotional and economic implications are rarely considered. 
  Through a combination of undercover reporting and detailed first-hand accounts – including a surrogate of 12 children, an international embryo courier and a man who buys breastmilk for his IBS – Alev Scott exposes how the IVF, surrogacy and milk industries operate around the world and who is profiting. In doing so, she considers the blurred line between exploitation and empowerment. Who should make money from the maternal body: only the women themselves, anyone or no one? 
  Timely, thought-provoking and compelling, Cash Cow is an unmissable investigation into how desire, desperation and commerce intersect, and the impact the fertility industry has on individuals.

  The Bible is a profound book on many levels. Spiritually it holds questions and answers for what it means to be human. Historically it reveals the lives of thousands of individuals and dozens of nations. 
   
  It is not a book written by one man or one god. It is a collection of thoughts, poems and histories collated together in one mega-volume. There are cyphers, codes and systems that hide secrets. There are metaphors that evade ordinary reasoning. In this film we are going to zone in one those codes and metaphors to unravel a massive hidden history. A sacred truth that has found itself locked away in the societies man created in later days such as the Freemasons. This ultimate secret stretches back in time for thousands of years and was included within the pages of the Bible. 
   
  This is the tale of a powerful and secret organization that has influenced mankind for millennia. This is the tale of how their existence brought about a number of mysteries that we will now unravel. This is the story of the Holy Secret Society.
