Sau vài ngày không liên lạc, cô con gái Ali (Storm Reid) bàng hoàng nhận ra mẹ mình đã mất tích một cách bí ẩn. Hết cách, Ali đành phải cố đăng nhập vào các tài khoản liên lạc hay mạng xã hội của mẹ để tìm manh mối. Cô dần khám phá ra những bí mật đen tối mà Grace che giấu suốt bấy lấu. Hàng loạt câu hỏi ập xuống đầu cô gái trẻ. Những mối quan hệ xã hội của Grace là ai? Thân phận thật sự của Kevin là gì? Liệu gã có phải tội phạm và lên kế hoạch bắt cóc Grace?

Tuy nhiên, càng dấn sâu vào điều tra, Grace vô tình làm sáng tỏ một “sự thật” đáng lo ngại hơn cả cái chết bí ẩn của em trai mình. Những ký ức kinh hoàng dần hiện về trong tâm trí của Grace, đan xen với những hiện tượng tâm linh khó lý giải tại tu viện. Ngay tại nơi ngự trị của Chúa, Grace đã phải đối mặt với những nguy hiểm rình rập từ giáo hội, nhưng điều kỳ lạ là không một ai có thể làm hại được cô ấy.

The year is 1972 and the nominees are: 1. Glenda Jackson - Sunday Bloody Sunday 2. Jane Fonda - Klute 3. Janet Suzman - Nicholas and Alexandra 4. Vanessa Redgrave - Mary, Queen of Scots 5. Julie Christie - McCabe & Mrs. Miller - In 1972 Jane Fonda won her first Oscar for playing Bree Daniels, a New York prostitute, in the iconic thriller Klute (still don't understand why it's called Klute). This was a very interesting year in that there was a very clear winner. I generally find doing this podcast each batch of nominees has strong competition but, sadly, I didn't feel that this episode. Glenda Jackson was likely her biggest competition but having won Best Actress the year prior, it was unlikely. Also I feel her performance as Queen Elizabeth in Mary, Queen of Scots was more interesting and more deserving of a nomination. Venessa Redgrave as Mary was a wonderful performance but I felt Jackson stole the show. Julie Christie in McCabe & Mrs. Miller had such presence but it left me wanting more. Finally, Janet Suzman in her screen debut portrayed Alexandra of the Romanov dynasty gave a fine performance but the historical inaccuracies and confusing plot points distracted from the performance. Listen to the episode for all of our thoughts! Join host Kyle Brownrigg with guest host Cathryn Naiker as they discuss.
Prime Minister Mitsotakis has said that he believes Britain is edging closer to returning the Parthenon Marbles, and will raise the subject with the UK's new Prime Minister, Liz Truss, on an upcoming visit to London this year. Mitsotakis said he believes the “mood is changing in the UK,” a reference to reports that, after decades of defensiveness, the British Museum may be ready to do a deal. When asked about the Parthenon Marbles earlier this month, however, Prime Minister Truss ruled out their return to Athens. Janet Suzman, the chair of the British Committee for the Reunification of the Parthenon Marbles, joins Thanos Davelis to discuss whether now is the right time for Mitsotakis to press for a deal on the Parthenon Marbles, and to look at how attitudes in Britain are shifting on this issue in favor of their return to Greece.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Greek PM will tell Liz Truss now's the moment to return Elgin MarblesUK Prime Minister Liz Truss rules out deal with Greece over Parthenon MarblesElgin Marbles: New body aims to return sculptures to GreeceEU blasts Turkey over Greek airspace violations, threats in enlargement report Cyprus may consider transferring weapons to Ukraine, government saysThe Hunt to Arm Ukraine Leads to Difficult Choices
Is there a new momentum for the return of Parthenon Marbles to Greece? That's what Janet Suzman, the chair of the British Committee for the Reunification of the Parthenon Marbles, argued in her latest op-ed for Kathimerini. Her piece came after Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis visited the United Kingdom, where he raised the issue of the Parthenon Marbles in his meeting with Prime Minister Boris Johnson. Despite Johnson's refusal, Greece has vowed to use “every means” in its quest to persuade London to relinquish the Parthenon sculptures, with a campaign that will focus on winning over the hearts and minds of Britons. Janet Suzman joins us on The Greek Current to talk about Prime Minister Mitsotakis' visit to the UK and the momentum it has given the campaign for the return of the Parthenon Marbles.Read Janet Suzman's op-ed in Kathimerini here: New momentum for return of Parthenon MarblesYou can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Pope Francis returns to Lesbos, Greece and pleads for action on migrant crisisCiting ancient Greeks, Pope Francis laments threats to democracy todayPope condemns treatment of migrants in EuropePope meets the Archbishop of AthensSecretary Blinken's Call with Greek Prime Minister MitsotakisPM heading to Russia: Transport, natural gas, East Med on the agenda

In this episode of "Keen On", Andrew talks with anthropologist James Suzman about his new book, Work: A Deep History, From the Stone Age to the Age of Robots. With a head full of Laurens van der Post and half an anthropology degree from St Andrews University under his belt, James Suzman hitched a ride into Botswana’s eastern Kalahari in June 1991. He has been working with the Bushmen ever since. He remains involved in a number of Kalahari initiatives through the Cambridge based research and support organisation he heads, Anthropos. James is an anthropologist and the author of Affluence Without Abundance: The disappearing world of the Bushmen published by Bloomsbury in 2017. He is the nephew of Janet Suzman and great-nephew of Helen Suzman. Suzman was born in Johannesburg, South Africa, and educated at Michaelhouse. He graduated with an MA (Hons) in social anthropology from the University of St Andrews in 1993. He was awarded a PhD in social anthropology from the University of Edinburgh in 1996. Suzman was the first social anthropologist to work in Namibia's eastern Omaheke among "Southern Ju/'hoansi", where he exposed the brutal marginalisation of San people who had lost their lands to white cattle ranchers and pastoralist Herero people. In 1998 Suzman was appointed to lead the landmark study, "The Regional Assessment of the Status of the San in Southern Africa", based on an ACP/EU resolution. Suzman later led an assessment by Minority Rights Group International to assess how Namibia's ethnic minorities had fared in the first ten years of Namibian Independence. The subsequent report was published in 2002. Emerging during period of political upheaval in Namibia, it led to calls for the better protection of ethnic minorities in Namibia. The Namibian Government rejected the report's findings and the President, Sam Nujoma, accused Suzman of amplifying "ethnic tensions". In 2001, Suzman was awarded the Smuts Commonwealth Fellowship in African Studies at the University of Cambridge. Suzman later established a program to establish opportunities for Hai//om San to benefit from tourism revenues in Etosha National Park. He was also involved in the dispute that arose as a result of the illegal relocation of Gwi and Gana San from Botswana's Central Kalahari Game Reserve. He was highly critical of the Botswana Government's actions and, later, Survival International's campaign, which he claimed undermined ongoing negotiations between the Botswana Government and a coalition of organisations supporting the evicted San. Survival International, in turn, criticised Suzman and members of the negotiating team led by Ditshwanelo, The Botswana Centre for Human Rights of complicity with the Botswana Government. In 2007, Suzman joined De Beers, where, as global head of public affairs, he developed the company's award-winning sustainability functions. He resigned in 2013. In 2013 Suzman and Jimmy Wales teamed up with Lily Cole to launch Impossible.com at the Cambridge Union.[citation needed] In the same year he was invited to deliver the second Protimos Lecture at the Parliament Chamber of London's Inner Temple. Suzman has published widely on San and other issues in academic journals, magazines and newspapers, including The New York Times. In 2017 he published Affluence Without Abundance: The Disappearing World of the Bushmen. Work: A History of How We Spend Our Time, was published in September 2020. Learn more about your ad choices.

Vasily Grossman, now widely regarded as the greatest Russian novelist of the 20th century, died 50 years ago this month. The author of the remarkable Everything Flows and Life and Fate (the only manuscript ever to be itself arrested by the Soviet authorities), Grossman was a crucial witness to the multiple horrors of the period. He did not live to see his greatest books published. This was a unique evening of readings and discussion: Robert Chandler, Grossman’s finest translator, reported back from the first Grossman conference in Russia; historian Antony Beevor and journalist John Lloyd provided commentary; and Janet Suzman gave a reading of extracts and stories. The panel went on to discuss Grossman’s extraordinary achievement and his legacy both in Russia and internationally, in a conversation chaired by Gareth Evans.
