As a Gen Z and born in 2000’s I grew up and loved Nickelodeon and Disney. I didn’t realise until watching this docuseries the abuses of power against children were behind the scenes. In the documentary you are warned that if you were a child in the 90’s this is going to ruin that for…
3/5 “I have to go, if I stay, I will never leave. Elvis’s response was maybe another place, another time.” This cryptic answer to wife Pricilla leaves many unanswered questions to the reality of the breakup between the King of Rock and Roll and his young wife. It feels like that this quote is a…

Yusra and Sara Mardini, in that moment in time wanting to live a normal life. Heart-breaking, profoundly moving, and beautiful is…
