Travel Australia Darwin to Daly Waters

  Our trusty Subaru Forester was packed with me, my partner Brenda, Katchalla (our concerned but enthusiastic spoodle), and enough snacks to survive a tiny apocalypse. With our brand new Brass Monkey securely tucked into the boot, we set off on our mission: the first leg of an epic journey from Darwin to Ulladulla, NSW, with Daly Waters shimmering in our minds as our initial oasis. We departed from Darwin, the tropical humidity clinging to us like a second skin. After about 98 kilometers, the promise of caffeine lured us into the Adelaide River Country Store. Brenda, ever the coffee connoisseur, declared their coffee to be "a damn good coffee," which is a high compliment indeed. Meanwhile, Katcha sniffed around, searching for the right spot to relieve himself and stumbled upon the store's no dickhead policy.

Is Hollywood Rewriting History

Is Hollywood Rewriting History? Reflecting on Cultural Identity

This video explores the potential distortion of historical narratives through a Hollywood lens. I grapple with questions of authenticity, colonial legacy, and the importance of preserving cultural nuances in storytelling. Join me in this discussion on representation and the power of who gets to tell the story.

Keywords:

  • Hollywood cultural appropriation
  • Filipino history
  • storytelling authenticity
  • colonialism in film
  • resistance narratives

Our Hollywood Heroes are on Fire

We dream of parallel universes where Hollywood heroes and colonial adventurers of the 19th century coexist.
These adventurers were cultural conquerors, erasing borders and reshaping narratives to fit the dominant worldview.
Hollywood continues this tradition, reworking stories to fit the familiar and shaping our perceptions of reality.
We must question the stories we are told, lest we become complicit in subtly reshaping history and perpetuating distorted narratives.

Keywords: 

  • History
  • Colonialism
  • Fire
  • Social justice
  • Resistance
  • Wealth disparity
  • Hollywood
