The Will to See, a film by Bernard-Henri Lévy

Premiere at Lincoln Center's New York Jewish Film Festival

Q&A with director Bernard-Henri Lévy on 1/16 at 4 PM

Prolific French writer, activist, and philosopher Bernard-Henri Lévy has been described by The New York Times as “an intellectual adventurer who brings publicity to unfashionable political causes.” He’s authored over 45 books and at times attracted controversy for his strong opinions. His latest project, this eye-opening essay film, which also provides an intellectual history of Levy’s thinking from his time with author and statesman André Malraux some 50 years ago, grew out of his expedition on behalf of several international newspapers to places where human suffering predominates. Whether due to prolonged war, terrorism, or state-sponsored genocide, Lévy’s destinations are not only beset with misfortune but also largely overlooked by the apparatuses capable of effecting change. Journeying from the overcrowded and unsanitary refugee camp in Lesbos that burned to the ground in September 2020 to Mogadishu, Somalia, “a ghost town abandoned to the warlords,” to Nigeria, where Christians are massacred with impunity, Lévy turns a spotlight on locations the world cannot afford to keep ignoring.

Dans ce nouvel épisode de Révolution bilingue, nous partons à la rencontre d’Agnès Ndiaye Tounkara, une Franco-Sénégalaise qui coordonne un programme scolaire unique en son genre, le French Heritage Language Program. Proposé dans plusieurs écoles publiques et centres communautaires de New-York, du Maine et de Floride, ce programme est destiné à des enfants francophones venus d’Afrique et d’Haïti, récemment arrivés aux Etats-Unis. Pour ces jeunes, la langue française est un atout de réussite scolaire et d’intégration.

Did you know that The Hemp Exchange has created a "CBD review website"? The website explains that this is an online resource for anyone interested in learning about CBD, hemp, or any other topic relating to this cutting-edge "alternative medicine". CBD is what gives hemp its healing capabilities. So, who created this site? It was created by CFAH, a corporation dedicated to researching and disseminating information on the medicinal uses of all things hemp, organic, and edible. According to the CFAH website, CFAH experts include:

CFAH is a non-profit membership organization dedicated to educating consumers about the benefits of CBD products. In order to join, you must first become a CFAH member. Once a member, you will be sent email updates, information on CFAH events, CFAH news, educational tools, and CFAH expert CBD reviewers. CBD review websites, such as this one, are created in order to inform consumers as to the positive results of using CBD products.

Why do I think these CBD review websites are so important? Well, because there are far too many negative reviews for many products on the market today. If you have read some of these reviews, you have found that many products claim to be natural and safe only to find that they can cause dangerous side effects, which include depression, seizures, and hallucinations. As a result of these dangerous ingredients, many children, teens, and adults are unable to use certain products due to these very unfortunate side effects. This is why I believe that it is so important to look for unbiased and professional reviews from qualified professionals who are knowledgeable about the potential benefits of CFAH products.

The second reason why CFAH has become so popular is because of the many different kinds of supplements that are available to patients with Autism, cerebral palsy, and other developmental disabilities. The fact of the matter is that not every product works for every individual. By having access to an online CFAH resource, parents can determine if a product might be right for their child before trying it. As you may imagine, this type of resource also makes it easier for parents to avoid scams and fake CFAH product testimonials.

Many CFAH review websites also review CGAmeric, Green Tea, Aloe Vera, Ginseng, and Curcumin. These ingredients can be found at local grocery stores and are often used in homeopathic remedies. By taking advantage of these types of naturally-based CFAH products, your child can benefit tremendously from their nutritional needs. The good news is that many of these natural ingredients have been proven safe and effective for children.

Finally, parents who want to educate themselves about CFAH products should make use of CFAH websites to learn more about the different ways that each supplement can help their children. A parent who is just beginning to research CFAH should begin by reading through the CFAH website and supplement chapter, looking for helpful information about the herbs and vitamins involved. If you do not have time to research this information yourself, you can always enlist the help of a local CFAH expert. With a little bit of education, you will no doubt find that CFAH products are right for your child.
