Anky Cyriaque, a filmmaker originally from Haiti who grew up in New York, brings a unique perspective to the cinema industry, deeply rooted in his belief that storytelling reigns supreme. Influenced by early childhood experiences with American TV shows like Sesame Street, Cyriaque emphasizes that "story is king," a philosophy he upholds in his directorial pursuits. He expresses concern over the cinema industry's current trajectory, where financial considerations often overshadow the narrative, diminishing the traditional theatrical experience and leading to what he views as a decline in storytelling quality. Cyriaque also critiques the rapid shift from theatrical releases to video on demand, arguing that this quick transition erodes the value of the cinematic experience, urging a return to prioritizing engaging narratives that captivate audiences.(00:02:45) Short Films: Directors' Personal Storytelling Investments(00:05:57) Film Influence on Career Paths(00:10:23) "Showcasing Director's Storytelling Skills Through Shorts"(00:19:11) Streaming Services' Influence on Independent Filmmakers' Visibility(00:29:34) Dynamic Landscape of Modern Visual Narratives(00:34:52) Media Consumption Shift: Streaming vs. Physical Ownership(00:44:02) Influencer-Driven Marketing in Movie Promotion(00:47:01) Evolution of Independent Film Distribution Strategies(00:52:19) Spielberg's Influence on Film Appreciationhttps://www.imdb.com/name/nm3977697/

Dr. Greg is joined by Certified CatholicPsych Mentor Jack Beers for a deep and honest conversation about the Church's invitation to mourn well—especially during the month of November. What begins as a discussion on liturgical rhythms becomes a surprising and moving reflection on death, grief, legacy, and the radical hope of sainthood. Together, they explore how embracing the reality of death—rather than avoiding it—can actually lead to greater peace, healing, and flourishing.   Key Topics: How meditating on your own death can bring clarity, peace, and purpose How popular culture distorts death—and what we lose when we avoid it Why the Church dedicates the month of November to the dead, and why it matters for your spiritual life The difference between ruminating on death and reflecting on it with intention Why Catholics are called to live in the tension of grief and resurrection How mourning connects us to legacy, eternity, and the call to become saints A practical invitation to pause, reflect, and realign at the end of the liturgical year What Jesus' response to Lazarus reveals about mourning with hope Learn More: Related episodes on Spiritual Warfare: Ep. 241: Big God LIttle Devil: Rethinking Spiritual Soundbites with Dr. Sean Tobin Ep. 137: Demonic Real Talk Related episodes on Halloween: Ep. 150: Can Catholics Celebrate Halloween?

It's Tuesday, November 4th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Trump adds Nigeria as Country of Particular Concern The President of the United States announced Friday that Nigeria will be added to the State Department's list of Countries of Particular Concern in regards to Christian persecution, reports ABC News. A "Country of Particular Concern" is a designation given by the U.S. government to a country that has engaged in or tolerated "systematic, ongoing, and egregious violations of religious freedom.” This designation, made by the President or Secretary of State under the International Religious Freedom Act, indicates severe religious freedom violations like torture, prolonged detention for religious reasons, or religiously inspired murder. A Country of Particular Concern designation can lead to diplomatic pressure or economic sanctions. Trump threatens Nigerian Islamic terrorists with swift justice President Trump added this passionate statement to his Truth Social on Sunday.  He wrote, “If the Nigerian Government continues to allow the killing of Christians, the U.S.A. will immediately stop all aid and assistance to Nigeria, and may very well go into that now disgraced country, ‘guns-a-blazing,' to completely wipe out the Islamic Terrorists who are committing these horrible atrocities.  “I am hereby instructing our Department of War to prepare for possible action. If we attack, it will be fast, vicious, and sweet, just like the terrorist thugs attack our CHERISHED Christians! WARNING: THE NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT BETTER MOVE FAST!” In response, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said on X, "The killing of innocent Christians in Nigeria, and anywhere, must end immediately. The Department of War is preparing for action. Either the Nigerian government protects Christians, or we will kill the Islamic terrorists who are committing these horrible atrocities.” Last month, Republican Senator Ted Cruz of Texas commented on X that "Officials in Nigeria are ignoring and even facilitating the mass murder of Christians by Islamist jihadists.” Mainstream media outlets sidestep Nigerian genocide In recent news reports, the Associated Press, the Washington Post, the New York Times, and other mainstream media sources continue ignoring, minimizing, or outright rejecting the world's most egregious genocide at present -- the mass killing of Christians in Nigeria, Africa. At the same time, Genocide Watch has issued a “Genocide Emergency” for Nigeria —citing the mass slayings of Christians.   The organization considers Nigeria to have entered what they call Stage 9: Extermination and Stage 10: Denial — with this particular genocide.  Over the last 15 years, a report from the International Society for Religious Liberties and the Rule of Law counts 189,000 Nigerians slaughtered in cold blood by radical Muslims, of which 125,000 plus were Christians.   In addition, 19,100 churches were destroyed, and more than 1,100 Christian communities sacked. Nigerian Bishop upset that some deny there's a Christian genocide Bishop David Abioye of the Nigerian Conqueror Global Assembly spoke recently of the genocide, correcting what he called “the distortion of truth.” ABIOYE: “There's a lot of distortion going on. People claiming that there is no genocide of Christians in the nation. You see people buried [by the] hundreds, and you say there is no genocide. What a wicked set of people. I agree there are people killed in other place for other reasons.  “But this one is very clear, and gradually it's eating down to the South, Southwest, Southeast. Many so-called leaders, for their personal interest, are claiming it's not true, selling out their faith, if they have it at all.” Romans 13 calls the ruler or president “God's minister to you for good,” noting “he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God's minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil.”  Texas Supreme Court allows judges not to perform homosexual weddings Is Obergefell on ice?   That's the 2015 Supreme Court ruling which purportedly legalized same-sex mirage in this country.  The Texas Supreme Court has ruled that judges who refuse to perform homosexual faux marriage ceremonies will no longer face disciplinary action for their decisions, reports The Christian Post. This comes right as the US Supreme Court will be discussing the same issue, scheduled for this Friday. Kim Davis, the former Kentucky county clerk, has appealed her case, where she was convicted for refusing to issue marriage licenses to homosexual couples after the Obergefell decision came down in 2015. Reformed pastor arrested for soliciting prostitutes A Presbyterian Church in America pastor from Tulsa, Oklahoma has been arrested on charges of soliciting prostitutes, reports ChurchLeaders.com. Jeremy Fair, senior pastor of Christ Presbyterian Church, was one of five men implicated in a sting operation. The church has placed the pastor on indefinite leave, according to a statement issued by the session. U.S. government shutdown about to become longest in history The current American government shutdown is about to round its fifth week, or 35th day.  If the shutdown continues through tomorrow, this will be the longest in U.S. history — exceeding the record set during the first Trump administration in 2019. Because of the ongoing financial crisis, President Donald Trump is urging the Senate Republicans to scrap the 60-vote filibuster threshold in favor of the simple-majority passage of legislation. However, on Monday, Senate Majority Leader John Thune said there's not enough support among Republican senators to eliminate the filibuster, reports Politico.com.  However, Senator Thune did express optimism about the Senate's resolution of the shutdown this week, reports CBS News. Trump admin will partially fund November food stamps On Monday, the Trump administration agreed to move billions of emergency dollars to partially pay for food aid this month in response to a federal judge's order, though some families may not receive benefits for weeks, according to Politico.com. Officials will use $4.65 billion from the USDA's contingency fund to support roughly half of food stamp participants' “current allotments” as the shutdown drags on, according to a new legal filing. Help victims of Hurricane Melissa in Jamaica, Cuba, and Haiti Late last week, Category-5 Hurricane Melissa clobbered Jamaica, Cuba, and Haiti, leveling whole towns, and killing 67 people, 32 of whom were in Jamaica, reports NBC News. Samaritan's Purse has airlifted their Emergency Field Hospital to Black River, Jamaica, and has already delivered tons of emergency supplies where the island nation has racked up $4 billion of insured losses.    To contribute to this relief effort, click on a special link in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com.   Iceland, Denmark, Australia & UK kill virtually all Down Syndrome babies And finally, in 2 Timothy 3, the Apostle Paul speaks of perilous times where men become “lovers of themselves, lovers of money … without natural affection … brutal … lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God. [and] having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof...” Catholic World Report has released numbers on nations aborting children with Down syndrome.   Iceland aborts nearly 100%, Denmark 98%, and Australia and the United Kingdom are killing about 90%  of its babies conceived with Down's Syndrome. The UK Gospel Witness, including a group of reformed pastors, will be gathering at the U.K. Parliament building on Thursday, to call the nation and its leaders to repentance.  Pray for this outreach.

Krishna arrived in the U.S. from Haiti just over 2 years ago full of hope, wonder and promise. With a temporary protected status she finally felt safe and ready to take on new goals and challenges to make a life and career for herself. Leaving behind her aunt, brother, and cousin in Haiti, and her mother living in Suriname, she saw a future ahead of her full of opportunity and safety. She ached for their touch and to see them in person but thankfully technology bridged the distance and inspired her to persist while providing strength on her darkest days. In the U.S. she has created a life full of education, hard work, and friendship. Her first initiative was to learn English so she immediately registered for classes and attended adult education knowing this was as essential key to create independence. While going to classes 4 days a week, she also worked full time at a local grocery store. She was committed to her goals and deeply grateful to the many opportunities she was able to take advantage of. Adult education classes offered English, but also helped create a new community of friends along with a network of teachers and administrators who supported her along the way. She successfully graduated from that program in June 2025. She knew learning English was just the start to build her future, but simultaneously she felt called to a career in healthcare. Krishna enrolled in a Certified Nurse Aide certification course at a local community college where she engaged in lectures, labs, ESL class for medical curriculum support, and clinicals providing experience at the hospital and a local nursing home. After much hard work and study, she successfully passed the exam and is now certified. While continuing to look for a position at a nursing home, she is grateful for her work and the opportunities to improve her communication skills. With Krishna's internal motivation to succeed there is no doubt she will continue to persevere and keep moving forward wherever she may live. She is committed to her personal and professional goals and despite the challenges she remains faithful and positive about her future.

Over the past few weeks in our study of the book of Acts, we've seen how the early church practiced radical generosity. This week brought two pressing areas of need to the forefront—one global and one local. This is a great opportunity for our church to follow the example set in Acts and respond with generosity.Global Need:Hurricane Melissa has caused devastating damage across the Caribbean, particularly in Jamaica, Cuba, and Haiti. Our partners at Send Relief are responding by providing power generators, meals, clothing, and temporary shelter. There is an urgent need for 1,000 water filters, and we can help meet that goal.A gift of $25 to Send Relief supplies one water filter. Would you consider serving our global neighbors by helping provide clean water?You can give here, just be sure Send Relief is selected in the dropdown.Local Need:Many of our neighbors will soon be impacted by the suspension of SNAP benefits. We've reached out to our partners at Storehouse Ministries, Dowell Elementary, and Cheatham Hill Elementary to identify how we can best serve. We'll keep you updated as specific needs arise, but for now, Storehouse has a critical need for peanut butter.We're asking every family, college student, young adult, and senior adult to bring at least one jar of peanut butter this week to help meet that need.

Au moins 1,25 million de personnes en Haïti ont été affectées par le passage de l'ouragan Melissa, dont 30 ont perdu la vie, a indiqué lundi le Programme alimentaire mondial (PAM). L'agence onusienne précise que de nombreuses habitations et infrastructures ont été détruites le long de la côte sud du pays, tandis que de vastes zones agricoles ont été ravagées.Avant l'arrivée du cyclone, le PAM avait déjà versé des paiements anticipés à quelque 50 000 personnes et livré une aide alimentaire dans plusieurs abris temporaires. L'organisation prévoit désormais de venir en aide à près de 190 000 personnes parmi les plus vulnérables : des rations pour deux semaines, suivies d'un mois de transferts monétaires destinés à soutenir le retour progressif des familles dans leurs foyers.(Extrait sonore : Daniel Ham, chef adjoint des programmes du PAM en Haiti ; propos recueillis par Cristina Silveiro)

In our news wrap Friday, a federal judge is blocking the Trump administration from requiring that voters prove their citizenship, the death toll from Hurricane Melissa has climbed to at least 50 people across Haiti and Jamaica, Ohio and Virginia are moving closer to redistricting plans ahead of next year’s midterms and the FBI says it thwarted a potential terrorist attack in Michigan.

Hurricane Melissa, the strongest storm to hit the Caribbean in modern times, left a wake of destruction in Jamaica, Cuba and Haiti that will take years to recover from. A Jamaican climate physics professor describes the toll of this climate catastrophe, and a meteorologist joins us to explain how the storm grew so ferocious in the blink of a hurricane's eye.   Also, Gwich'in Alaska Natives, which consider the land of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge sacred and local Porcupine Caribou as relatives, are expressing alarm at how renewed prospects of drilling in this fragile environment could upend their world.  And the Pacific Northwest of the US harbored a serial killer hotspot of sorts in the 1970s, associated with the neurotoxin lead. Seattle-born author Caroline Fraser explores this link in her book Murderland: Crime and Bloodlust in the Time of Serial Killers. She discusses how dangerously high lead exposure from smelters and gasoline may have led to the increase of violence and murders in the region. ---  Federal funding for public radio has ended.

Cette semaine, Au Coeur de l'Histoire se met à l'heure d'Halloween ! Pour cette semaine spéciale frissons, préparez-vous à avoir la chair de poule...Virginie Girod vous raconte les origines d'un monstre incontournable de la pop culture dans un récit inédit d'Au cœur de l'Histoire !Loin de l'image du revenant assoiffé de sang forgée et véhiculée par le cinéma hollywoodien, la figure du zombi puise ses origines dans la culture vaudou haïtienne. A partir du XVe siècle, alors que le commerce triangulaire se met en place, des millions d'Africains sont capturés et réduits en esclavage sur les territoires nouvellement conquis en Amérique et dans les Caraïbes. Le mélange des cultures locales et importées aboutit, sur l'île qui deviendra Haïti, à la construction d'un syncrétisme religieux : le vaudou, comprenant ses propres rites, croyances et divinités, à l'image d'Erzuli ou du Baron Samedi. Parmi les pratiquants, il existe des sorciers, les bokors, capables de ramener des êtres d'entre les morts en effectuant des rites de zombification... Mais qui sont ces zombis ? Ont-ils jamais perdu la vie ?

Why do women give — and what truly inspires them to give more? In this powerful episode of Nonprofit Nation, I'm joined by Jacqueline Ackerman, Director of the Women's Philanthropy Institute (WPI) at the Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy.and a leading voice in gender and philanthropy. With a background shaped by early experiences in Haiti and a career grounded in rigorous research, Jacqueline shares why understanding how women give is just as important as how much they give.If you're not segmenting, stewarding, and storytelling with women in mind, you're not just missing out on donations — you're missing the opportunity to build a more inclusive and sustainable culture of philanthropy.

Today's Headlines: Hurricane Melissa tore through the Caribbean just as feared, leaving dozens dead and catastrophic damage across Jamaica, Cuba, and Haiti before weakening to a Category 1 on its way to the Bahamas. Nearly 80% of Jamaica is still without power, and hundreds remain missing across the islands. In Gaza, Israel resumed airstrikes that killed around 100 people after a soldier was shot in Rafah — but quickly announced the ceasefire was back on. Hamas says it's delaying the return of hostage remains in response to the strikes. Trump, meanwhile, is still globe-trotting — now in South Korea, where he announced the U.S. will share sensitive nuclear submarine technology, one of the country's most tightly guarded military secrets. This comes months after North Korea bragged about its own nuclear-powered sub. Back home, a new Pentagon memo ordered all 50 states, D.C., and U.S. territories to form “quick reaction forces” — over 23,000 National Guard troops trained for riot control — to respond to potential unrest. The administration also indicted its first Gen Z political figure: 26-year-old Illinois Democrat Kat Abughazaleh, charged with assaulting an ICE officer during a protest — charges that could carry up to 14 years in prison. On the money front, the Senate symbolically voted against Trump's 50% tariffs on Brazil (which won't actually change anything), the Fed cut interest rates another 0.25%, and the shutdown continues as millions risk losing food aid. The Dow hit a record 48,000 — mostly thanks to AI stocks — even as layoffs surge at UPS, Nestlé, and Amazon. And in some good news for once, philanthropist Mackenzie Scott donated $60 million to the Center for Disaster Philanthropy and another $38 million to Alabama State University — the largest gift in the HBCU's 158-year history.

During an interview on Fox Business on Thursday morning, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the United States and China could sign a trade agreement as soon as next week. He also said the United States would enact a one-year suspension of Entity List restrictions. China has agreed to purchase millions of metric tons of U.S. soybeans in the coming years, said Bessent.Hurricane Melissa churned across the Atlantic Ocean toward Bermuda on Thursday after thrashing Cuba's second-biggest city, unleashing devastation on Jamaica and drenching Haiti. According to the National Hurricane Center, Melissa weakened to a Category 1 storm as it moved northeast through the Bahamas on Thursday morning.

Killing the Dead: Vampire Epidemics from Mesopotamia to the New World (Princeton UP, 2025) by Professor John Blair provides the first in-depth, global account of one of the world's most widespread yet misunderstood forms of mass hysteria—the vampire epidemic. In a spellbinding narrative, Dr. Blair takes readers from ancient Mesopotamia to present-day Haiti to explore a macabre frontier of life and death where corpses are believed to wander or do harm from the grave, and where the vampire is a physical expression of society's inexplicable terrors and anxieties.In 1732, the British public opened their morning papers to read of lurid happenings in eastern Europe. Serbian villagers had dug up several corpses and had found them to be undecayed and bloated with blood. Recognizing the marks of vampirism, they mutilated and burned them. Centuries earlier, the English themselves engaged in the same behavior. In fact, vampire epidemics have flared up throughout history—in ancient Assyria, China, and Rome, medieval and early modern Europe, and the Americas. Blair blends the latest findings in archaeology, anthropology, and psychology with vampire lore from literature and popular culture to show how these episodes occur at traumatic moments in societies that upend all sense of security, and how the European vampire is just one species in a larger family of predatory supernatural entities that includes the female flying demons of Southeast Asia and the lustful yoginīs of India.Richly illustrated, Killing the Dead provocatively argues that corpse-killing, far from being pathological or unhealthy, served as a therapeutic and largely harmless outlet for fear, hatred, and paranoia that would otherwise result in violence against marginalized groups and individuals. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Hurricane Melissa: Concrete Kingston Spared, St. Catherine's Suffers Utter Devastation Guest: Reverend Bill Develin Reverend Bill Develin reports from Kingston, Jamaica, describing Hurricane Melissa as an "unbelievable storm" that surpasses others he has experienced. The Category 5 hurricane features incredible winds reaching 185 mph and torrential rainfall, creating a "toxic mix and meteorological disaster." Develin, located in Kingston on a hill in a concrete home, did not need to evacuate and notes that Kingston has "definitely been spared," though power has been out in his neighborhood for approximately 12 hours and half of New Kingston's business district remains in darkness. In stark contrast, St. Catherine's Parish, approximately 120 miles to the west, has experienced "utter and complete devastation." This underserved, rural, and impoverished area is largely constructed of wood structures with zinc metal roofs, making homes highly vulnerable to the storm, comparable to the poorest parts of New Orleans during previous hurricanes. St. Catherine's Parish was on a mandatory evacuation list of 25 areas; fortunately, though the state public hospital's roof was ripped off, all patients and staff had been evacuated the day before the storm. The government of Jamaica, including Prime Minister Andrew Holness and the Office of Disaster Preparedness, performed exceptionally, establishing 880 safe shelters across the island and maintaining overall preparedness. The Ministry of Transportation hopes the airport will reopen within 48 hours to allow relief flights carrying humanitarian aid from organizations like Samaritan's Purse, the International Red Cross, and the European Union Humanitarian Relief Effort. Despite these efforts, devastation across western Jamaica from May Pen to Montego Bay—where 25,000 tourists shelter—will require massive cleanup efforts lasting at least a year, constituting a "double whammy" for communities still recovering from Hurricane Barrel, which struck over a year prior with similar force. Hurricane Melissa is expected to travel north through Montego Bay, then turn obliquely eastward toward Cuba, barrel into western Haiti, pass near the Bahamas and Bermuda, and eventually dissipate into the Mid-Atlantic Ocean.

Initial estimates show Hurricane Melissa may have killed dozens across Haiti and Jamaica. Melissa is one of the strongest storms the region has ever seen, leaving widespread destruction in multiple Caribbean nations. To discuss the ongoing rescue and relief efforts, Amna Nawaz spoke with Brian Bogart of the World Food Programme. PBS News is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders.

Reverend Bill Devlin Braves Category 5 Hurricane Melissa in Kingston, Jamaica Guest: Reverend Bill Devlin Host John Batchelor interviews Reverend Bill Devlin, who is in Kingston, Jamaica, facing Hurricane Melissa, described as a rare Category 5 storm. Melissa is the strongest storm on the planet this year, featuring winds of 150 mph with expected gusts up to 175 mph. The hurricane is anticipated to make landfall on Jamaica's southern coast, passing through May Pen toward Montego Bay. Devlin is sheltering on a balcony overlooking Kingston, which is experiencing torrential rains and gale winds. Despite local catastrophic flooding, Kingston appears well-prepared, as the overwhelming majority of homes are concrete structures with secured, tiled roofs. Devlin reports no catastrophic damage in the city thus far. All three Jamaican airports closed starting Sunday night, October 26, 2025, with all flights canceled until Friday, October 31st. Melissa has already caused fatalities in Haiti, Jamaica, and the Dominican Republic. The guest expresses particular concern for the middle and rural regions of the island, which are still recovering from Hurricane Barrel, which struck over a year ago. 1900 TYPHOON ON GUAM

Today's Headlines: Trump kicked off his Asia trip with stops at the ASEAN Summit and meetings with China's Xi Jinping and North Korea's Kim Jong Un, bragging that a trade deal with China is “close” while hinting—again—that he might go for a third term. He also casually revealed he had an MRI and dementia test at Walter Reed that somehow didn't make it into his official health report (but don't worry, he says the scan was “perfect”). Meanwhile, Venezuela accused the U.S. of staging a “military provocation” after a U.S. warship docked in Trinidad and Tobago—an accusation that started sounding less wild after Lindsey Graham said Trump is considering “land strikes” against Venezuela and Colombia. A new study found that major chatbots—including ChatGPT, Gemini, and Grok—have been echoing Russian propaganda from sanctioned media outlets, while another report revealed that a leaked database exposed personal data from over 450 Americans with top secret clearances tied to Democratic House offices. The government shutdown drags on, threatening food benefits for nearly 50 million people and hiking health insurance premiums nationwide. In Indiana, Governor Mike Braun called a special session to fast-track a redistricting plan that could add two GOP House seats. Elsewhere, Hurricane Melissa is bearing down on Jamaica after killing several people in Haiti and the Dominican Republic, Amazon is reportedly laying off 30,000 workers in its biggest job cut ever, and—because it's apparently 1975 again—the Trump administration just ordered the FBI to dig through its files for anything related to Jimmy Hoffa's disappearance.
