  • Fresh Dressed
    PRESENTS FRESH DRESSED A CNN FILMS PRODUCTION WORLD PREMIERE – DOCUMENTARY PREMIERE Running Time: 82 Minutes Sales Contact: Dogwoof Ana Vicente – Head of Theatrical Sales Tel: 02072536244 [email protected] 1 SYNOPSIS With funky, fat-laced Adidas, Kangol hats, and Cazal shades, a totally original look was born— Fresh—and it came from the black and brown side of town where another cultural force was revving up in the streets to take the world by storm. Hip-hop, and its aspirational relationship to fashion, would become such a force on the market that Tommy Hilfiger, in an effort to associate their brand with the cultural swell, would drive through the streets and hand out free clothing to kids on the corner. Fresh Dressed is a fascinating, fun-to-watch chronicle of hip-hop, urban fashion, and the hustle that brought oversized pants and graffiti-drenched jackets from Orchard Street to high fashion's catwalks and Middle America shopping malls. Reaching deep to Southern plantation culture, the Black church, and Little Richard, director Sacha Jenkins' music-drenched history draws from a rich mix of archival materials and in-depth interviews with rappers, designers, and other industry insiders, such as Pharrell Williams, Damon Dash, Karl Kani, Kanye West, Nasir Jones, and André Leon Talley. The result is a passionate telling of how the reach for freedom of expression and a better life by a culture that refused to be squashed, would, through sheer originality and swagger, take over the mainstream. 2 ABOUT THE FILMMAKERS SACHA JENKINS – Director Sacha Jenkins, a native New Yorker, published his first magazine—Graphic Scenes & X-Plicit Language (a ‘zine about the graffiti subculture)—at age 17.

The resolution (H. Res. 826), passed by a 223-190 vote, doesn’t actually make any changes to federal policy. However, Democrats argue they need to oppose any effort to undercut Obamacare’s expansion of the public health insurance program for the poor. “This White House is putting Medicaid on a chopping block,” Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-N.J.) said. o The Trump administration proposal, announced late in January, would let the federal government give states a lump sum to spend on Medicaid instead of the currently unlimited amount of funding it can give, which grows and shrinks based on state need. Administration officials say the shift would give states the opportunity to lower what they spend on Medicaid and reap some of the savings for other public programs.

    WHITEHALL IN BRUSSELS: THE UK PERMANENT REPRESENTATION TO THE EU MATT BEVINGTON WHITEHALL IN BRUSSELS: THE UK PERMANENT REPRESENTATION TO THE EU 1 FOREWORD The UK has left the European Union but the two sides, as neighbours, partners and competitors, will need to continue to work with each other. How this happens matters. The UK Permanent Represeenation to the European Union was, during the UK’s membership, a crucial cog in the machinery both of UK-EU interaction and of coordination within Whitehall. Renamed the UK Mission to the EU it will continue to play a vital role. I’d like to thank Matt Bevington for producing this report for us, and to recommend it to you as an invaluable summary both of how the UK interacted with the EU in the past, and what role UKMiss might play in those interactions going forward. More broadly, as Matt has now left UKICE to work elsewhere, this serves as an opportunity to thank him for all his work for us over the last few years. He will be sadly missed. In addition, thanks are due to Jill Rutter for editing and checking over the report, and Navjyot Lehl for handling design issues. I hope you find what follows interesting and useful.

Netanyahu leads tributes, and calls on others to follow the US lead. Israel increases its security presence in the OPTs in expectation of Palestinian unrest. [Redacted] 1. Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and instructions to move the US Embassy have been met with widespread praise and gratitude from Israeli leaders. 2. PM Netanyahu hailed Trump’s “courageous and just decision”. This reflected the US President’s commitment to an “ancient but enduring truth, to fulfilling his promises and to advancing peace”. President Rivlin added that recognition of Jerusalem was a “fitting and beautiful gift” as Israel approached the 70th anniversary of its independence. 3. Leading members of the governing coalition also praised the decision. Education Minister Bennett (Jewish Home) commended Trump for resisting domestic and international pressure. Justice Minister Shaked (Jewish Home) declared that the rules of the game had changed, and warned Palestinian leaders “not to test Israel’s patience with terror threats”. 4. Most of Israel’s opposition parties also welcomed the announcement, with Leader of the Opposition Herzog (Zionist Union) labelling it a “historic rectification”.
