Publisher's Synopsis
This issue includes Editor Faktorovich's critical analysis of the structure and social implications of two seemingly critical, but subversively too puffing of perceived accomplishments documentary series. The first of these is Black Gold, which advertises the genius power of Exxon-Mobil to have presented doubt across decades into the scientific discord to delay any actions being taken to prevent further catastrophic global-heating. The delay continues into our disaster-filled present, as the just-passed Inflation Reduction Act guarantees that basically for every renewable credit opportunity, the oil producers will be able to build a new project to dig for more oil. The second study describes the complex unexplored strings behind the Ghislaine: Partner in Crime series about Ghislaine Maxwell's 2021 child sex trafficking conviction on a 20-year sentence. This reconsideration of the case points to obscure side-cases such as the ghostwriter who sued over an unfair split of royalties. It also presents the statistical data regarding prostitution in America to understand why this is one of the rare cases where the pimp and madam were prosecuted, instead of the prostitutes they sold to Johns. There is also a set of reviews from CCR's regular review contributor, Susie Gharib, who takes a close look at Official Secrets, The Book of Henry, Doubt, The BFG, Johnny English Strikes Again, and King Arthur
