I started as a teenager writing for a local paper in Poland. Later, I worked in TV.
Back then, journalism was simple:
Be curious. Ask what others wouldn’t. Tell the truth.
No hashtags. No algorithms deciding what mattered.
Now the landscape’s changed.
Noise wins too often.
But truth still matters more than ever.
Integrity isn’t old-fashioned. It’s something we all shape by choosing what we watch/read.
Because if we let machines or fear tell the story,
we lose what makes us free and human: empathy, doubt, understanding, connection, compassion.

The story’s not over yet.

Before we even get to Nuremberg 🎬 here, let’s pause on a symbol that’s older, deeper, and far more complicated than we tend to admit.
The sw****ka.
A sign that once meant the sun, fortune, and life itself, used in ancient India, carved into Viking stones, painted on early airplanes.
A symbol used, then abused, until it became unthinkable.
When I lived in Stockholm, I noticed something striking: some old doors still had sw****kas.
In Germany, that would be impossible today.
But in Sweden, they quietly survive on buildings.
That visual shock seeing the same shape on an old Swedish door and on a N**i flag opens a strange window into history.
And it leads straight to the story of Hermann Göring and his years in Sweden long before he became one of the most infamous men of the 20th century.

At Moorgate Station, a young bloke walking ahead of me down the stairs picked up a bit of rubbish what looked like a pastry wrapper. No fuss.

I said, “That’s proper impressive, not many people would bother.”

He smiled and responded “I work for an ambulance. I spot a trip hazard everywhere.”

Small thing, but it says a lot about awareness and care. It’s not just about aesthetics, it’s about looking out for each other.

Happy Monday commuters!

London is in the middle of a manhunt after Hadush Kebatu, an Ethiopian asylum-seeker convicted of sexual assault, was mistakenly released from prison. Headlines focus on his nationality and crimes, fueling outrage and calls for accountability.
But beyond the drama, this is a case study in how media frames stories and how public perception is shaped. It also exposes tensions between justice, immigration policy, and societal safety — showing how one individual’s story can ignite national debate.
A reminder: the story we see is rarely the whole story.

The hardest thing? Picking just ten. It took me a while — and I already feel guilty about the ones I left out… 🙈

10️⃣ A Perfect Murder (1998, Andrew Davis) — Michael Douglas, Gwyneth Paltrow, Viggo Mortensen. Slick, suspenseful, pure late-90s elegance.

9️⃣ The Sixth Sense (1999, M. Night Shyamalan) — Bruce Willis, Haley Joel Osment. That ending changed how I think about storytelling forever.

8️⃣ The Royal Tenenbaums (2001, Wes Anderson) — Gene Hackman, Gwyneth Paltrow, Ben Stiller. Eccentric, funny, bittersweet — a perfect mix.
(Replaced Call Me by Your Name — beautiful but hasn’t aged well: Elio is 17, Oliver 24. Brilliant acting, but morally fuzzy.)

7️⃣ Revolutionary Road (2008, Sam Mendes) — Kate Winslet & Leonardo DiCaprio. Raw, heartbreaking, and painfully human.

6️⃣ Parasite (2019, B**g Joon-ho) — sharp, unpredictable, visually stunning. The kind of film that lingers.

5️⃣ Jojo Rabbit (2019, Taika Waititi) — absurd, emotional, and bold. It shouldn’t work, but it does — perfectly.

4️⃣ The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014, Wes Anderson) — Ralph Fiennes, Saoirse Ronan. Pure whimsy and symmetry; always makes me smile.

3️⃣ Coraline (2009, Henry Selick) — Magical and eerie — and full of memories with my daughter ❤️

2️⃣ The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999, Anthony Minghella) — Matt Damon, Jude Law, Gwyneth Paltrow. Stylish, haunting, morally complex.

1️⃣ Match Point (2005, Woody Allen) — Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Scarlett Johansson. Elegant, tense, and unsettling. My forever number one.

🎥 Bonus Documentary: Searching for Sugar Man (2012, Malik Bendjelloul) — Proof that life can be more magical than fiction 💫

Alexander Skarsgård in Pillion — and yes, there’s a dog in the scene. 🐶 But beyond the film: did you know that in Sweden 🇸🇪 dogs legally cannot be left alone for more than six hours?

In contrast: • In Poland 🇵🇱 there’s currently no specific legal limit on how long a dog can be left alone. (Animal welfare rules exist, but not a fixed “hours alone” regulation.)

• In the UK 🇬🇧 there’s no hard limit either — animal-welfare codes recommend no dog should “routinely” be left for prolonged, unsupervised periods.

So the takeaway: while Sweden sets a clear benchmark (6 h), many other places still rely on general welfare guidance. Maybe something to think about next time your four-legged friend is home solo.

🎬 P.S. The film may be about intense biker-romance, but even a dog makes a cameo — attention grabs matter. 😉 And it will be more about the film later, so stay tuned!

The friend-circle industry 🎥

After working across Poland, Sweden, and the UK, one thing stands out — film and TV are still industries where “who you know” can outweigh “what you do.” It’s often presented as collaboration or trust, but in reality, it’s sometimes nepotism in disguise.

I’ve seen talented people overlooked simply because they weren’t part of the inner circle. And yet, despite that, I still find the British market to be the most open in practical terms — competitive, yes, but full of movement and new openings.

It’s not about complaining — it’s about acknowledging how much stronger the industry could be if access matched ability.

Behind the glamour of the film and media world lies a different reality. Long hours, freelance uncertainty, and silence around burnout. 87% of UK screen workers have struggled with their mental health, and over half have considered leaving the industry. The spotlight's glow can be blinding, but also suffocating. Let's foster honesty and care in the creative world. 🎞️🤍
