...success of the soundtrack helped sustain Henzell's film at the box office, where it has remained a cult staple of festivals and late-night college specials ever since. But after he struggled through the 70s to finance and shoot a still more experimental follow-up, No Place Like Home, the director's career stalled completely when the negatives went missing in a New Jersey warehouse. "It broke his heart when he lost that footage," says his daughter Justine. "He'd put all his time energy and money into it and then it was gone." So Henzell gave...
...directed by Kerry Michael and Dawn Reid, opened last March at Stratford's 460-seat Theatre Royal, a plush Victorian-era playhouse with a modern mission to foster black and community productions.

But the squad failed to capitalize on its man-advantage, and instead BC’s Nathan Gerbe netted a shot from the right side of the crease while his team was shorthanded, giving the Eagles a 2-1 lead...
...Ikhwan's jewelry-box lecture was directed, albeit politely, at Tatap and me. Both of us were wearing long shirts and trousers. But our necks were showing and our hair was uncovered. Truth be told, we were showing considerable wrist. The journalistic dress code is tricky in such situations: I don't show up for interviews in miniskirts, as a rule, and I try to be sensitive to indigenous customs. But what if local tradition means ignoring my presence altogether? I once conducted an interview in northern Afghanistan with a formerly Taliban-aligned warlord, who refused to speak directly...
