Snowpiecer trailer premieres

On May 25, the Snowpiecer series, based on the film by Oscar winner Bong Joo-ho, premieres on Netflix. The film is in turn based on the novel Le Transperceneige, by Jacques Lob and Jean-Marc Rochette. We will see in this series a post-apocalyptic world in which Earth is a frozen planet and the only survivors travel in a train of 1,001 wagons that goes around the world in a repetition to which its inhabitants are condemned. Inside the train the survivors are divided by social class. In the best style of Bong Joo-ho,  we will see the rise of the oppressed class.

Fashion world workers protest in Myanmar

The New York Times has uncovered and given visibility to the protests that are taking place these days in Yangon, Myanmar. Earlier this year, before the pandemic, workers at textile factories operating in Yangon that make clothes for western brands like Mango and Zara have unionized because of the dire working conditions they are in. Since the health crisis began, the number of orders that brands made to textile factories has decreased, so the owners of these have decided to mass-fire their workers, who claim that this is just an excuse to stop the union activities. It is well known that contract workers in the textile factories of Bangladesh and Cambodia are also exploited so that the garments sold in these warehouses can be used in the West.

An act of irreverence from Guns N 'Roses

The American rock band mocks Trump with their new merchandise: a T-shirt that says "Live and let die with COVID 45." With this, they refer to a visit that Donald Trump made to a factory of masks. On this visit, he himself did not wear a face mask and the workers were hearing the band's classic so hard that it was hard to hear what Trump was saying. After some Twitter exchanges in which gang members criticize Trump and call attention to the number of deaths by COVID that does not bother the US president, Guns' n Roses launches this shirt that costs $ 25 and whose royalties will go to the MusicCare Foundation, to help forgotten populations in the midst of the health crisis.
