Stressed? Burnt out? You’re not alone! With black humour and biting irony, we get the incredible story of how modern working life became its own worst enemy – and what we can do to change it. Burnout, endless meetings and colourful Post-It notes with empty marketing phrases have hijacked meaningful work. How did we get there? Based on a sabotage manual developed during World War II, John Webster’s wildly entertaining and deeply upsetting film demonstrates how modern work has become a monster that devours itself – and everyone else around it. Without losing sight of the system’s human toll, the film speaks directly to a current agenda about how and how much we should actually work. And fortunately for all of us, there actually is a solution. At the heart of the film, we sit in with a group of successful business people as they come together to share their stories of burning out – and how they got on in life. Most people will no doubt be able to relate to much of ‘The Happy Worker’, and have a good, much-needed laugh about how it got this far.

80 年代初,亨利·李·卢卡斯承认他曾杀害数百人,为一直悬而未决的案件画上了终点,也安抚了诸多处于悲痛中的家庭。尽管没有直接证据表明卢卡斯与犯罪现场有关,但他在列举每起袭击的残忍细节的同时,还能画出受害者的画像,这让当局感到震惊。然而,记者和律师发现卢卡斯的作案时间存在疑问,DNA 测试结果也开始与他在国际报道中的说法相矛盾。《自白的杀手》是一部引人入胜的五集纪录片剧集,讲述了这个曾经被称为美国犯案次数最多的连环杀手如何在一个不完善的司法系统中成为一个复杂的人物。该剧集由荣获奥斯卡提名的罗伯特·肯纳(《食品公司》)和塔基·奥尔德姆执导。
我们天生喜欢香,极少喜欢臭。自然规律也显示:香料能使物品保存持久。这其实已经用气味指明了方向,所谓正道,就是千古流芳。于是在古人面前,很多不同类别的名词汇成了一种通感:芬芳、侠骨、馨香、大义、正气、至善、……古人相信,任何选择都会自带气味标签。但吊诡的是,在历史重要节点上那些意见截然相反的人,无不坚称自己都是正气使然。而作为后来人,我们也确实发现,随着深入了解双方,越来越难以评判。香,究竟是客观共识,还是辩证的转化?本片选取与五位古人命运相连的香料,串起他们曾经在那些重要节点上的冲突和选择。
