  • Bridgerton actress Nicola Coughlan courageously stands up for Palestine

    Bridgerton actress Nicola Coughlan courageously stands up for Palestine

    Many people know Nicola Coughlan from shows like Bridgerton and Derry Girls. In a new interview with Teen Vogue, she openly showed her support for the Palestinian people who are facing a genocide in Gaza.

    “There’s a huge connection between Ireland and Palestine that maybe a lot of people aren’t aware of, and a shared history,” she explained. “To me it always becomes more about supporting innocent people. Are we supporting innocent people no matter where they’re from, who they are? That’s my drive.”

    Coughlan has been using her social media to talk about and raise money for the people in Gaza. She’s also been wearing a pin for Artists4Ceasefire. She’s not worried about having trouble getting acting jobs because of her political views. She feels good knowing that she’s using her influence to make the world better, so when she looks back on her life, she’ll know she did something good.
    “You might hear people say, ‘You won’t get jobs,’ ‘You won’t do well,’” admitted the Barbie actor. “But I believe if you know you’re standing up for innocent people, then I’m not scared of what others think.”

    Coughlan knows she has a big influence because she’s famous. “I’m lucky I’ve come this far in my career, especially as a white woman,” she said. Talking about being in the spotlight, she added, “I love my job, and I’m grateful I get to travel and meet amazing people. I feel like I need to give back because of this.”

    Even before she was on TV, Coughlan was involved in making the world better. “I supported different causes,” she remembered. “I campaigned for marriage equality and marched for abortion rights in Ireland. I’ve always cared about fairness and helping people.”
    With the first part of Bridgerton season three coming on May 16, Coughlan can focus on her successful TV career without worrying about being rejected because of her beliefs.

    Palestinian stories shine at Arab film festival in Berlin

    The ALFILM festival in Berlin is standing strong in its promise to highlight Palestinian stories, even when faced with tough opposition. Despite the difficulties and tensions around discussing Palestine in Germany, the festival organizers are determined to give these important stories a platform.

    Pascale Fakhry, the director of ALFILM, knows it’s harder now, but she’s still committed to the festival’s mission. She says, “It feels like an impossible task right now. It doesn’t even feel like an act of courage. It feels like a suicide somehow, honestly.”

    But the festival keeps going, knowing how important it is as a big part of Arab culture in Germany. Fakhry says it’s crucial to keep talking and sharing stories, even when things seem tough.

    Even though there have been some tough moments, like questions from authorities about the festival’s venues, the organizers stay strong in their goal of creating a diverse and welcoming cultural space.

    In a time when antisemitism is growing and tensions are high, the festival is a symbol of strength and unity. Filmmakers from around the world are encouraged to speak out, even on sensitive topics.

    This year, the festival is focusing on Palestinian cinema with a special section called “Here is Elsewhere: Palestine in Arab Cinema and Beyond.” One documentary, ‘Bye Bye Tiberias’ by Lina Soualem, tells stories of Palestinian women and their strength through generations, showing how history still affects them today.

    Stories like Soualem’s are important because they challenge stereotypes and make sure Palestinian voices are heard. Even when it’s hard, the ALFILM festival keeps fighting to share these stories and promote understanding through art and cinema.

    Back in October 2022, Swift’s album ‘Midnights’ also made waves by selling 570,000 copies in a week on vinyl.

    These records are specific to the ‘modern era’ since 1991, when SoundScan started tracking sales across different formats. While there might have been albums selling more than 700,000 vinyl copies per week in the past, we didn’t have data like this back then.

    Still, Taylor Swift’s incredible achievements in LP sales are unmatched in recent history.
