Goats don't eat corozo

"What is hard, is delicious"

In Los Moreneros, an Afro village in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, in the Colombian Guajira; there is a community that treasures ancient knowledge of black cuisine. Midwives and old people know the secret of Chicharro, a corozo-based stew that is only prepared there. To prevent this flavor from being buried by time, a school arises in the backyards of the houses where the old men teach the children black recipes in wood stoves. Yasser, a 10-year-old kitchen apprentice, shows us how his grandmother Yiya, the great master of Chicharro, transmits wisdom and flavor to future cooks in the region.

Night Will Fall

When Allied forces liberated the Nazi concentration camps in 1944-45, their terrible discoveries were recorded by army and newsreel cameramen, revealing for the first time the full horror of what had happened. Making use of British, Soviet and American footage, the Ministry of Information’s Sidney Bernstein (later founder of Granada Television) aimed to create a documentary that would provide lasting, undeniable evidence of the Nazis’ unspeakable crimes. He commissioned a wealth of British talent, including editor Stewart McAllister, writer and future cabinet minister Richard Crossman – and, as treatment advisor, his friend Alfred Hitchcock. Yet, despite initial support from the British and US Governments, the film was shelved, and only now, 70 years on, has it been restored and completed by Imperial War Museums under its original title "German Concentration Camps Factual Survey".
