In this episode of Lessons from the Screen we will be looking at this story as it has developed up to the current point of this show being recorded. We will look briefly at the history of the situation and some of the factors being considered. But we will most definitely be getting into the lessons that can be learned from this situation, especially amid a growing surge of Black Speakers pushing for Black Sovereignty, UN Intervention, and using public shaming on an international level to create social pressure.

In this episode of Lessons from the Screen we will be looking at this document and its potential impact on the community as well as things that we can learn. Amid a growing surge of Black Power Movements and the continued push of Civil Rights Organizations pushing both of which along with the regular black population continue to clash with the police all over the nation, this document, what it represents, and what it actually says has to be looked at.
Catalonia is a story that has been in development for hundreds of years and at this moment we are in a hotspot of activity. Daily there is a new development teaching us more lessons about our position in America and what options we may have on the table as it concerns growing talks for independence and sovereignty. The Catalan's have been pushing for independence for centuries and over the past hundred years they have had a number of independence referendums which usually result in an overwhelming number of votes for independence from Spain. Just recently in October of this year 2017 they had another that had a turnout of over 2.5 million people in a region with a population of only 7.5 million people with a result of 90% in favor of independence from Spain.
Ice Guardians is a documentary about the Enforcers in Hockey. Even for those of us that aren't familiar with hockey are familiar with the fighting in hockey. So for many of us this documentary will be an eye opener into the structure of hockey and the context that the fights exist in. But deeper than that it also looks into the psychology and the sociology of not just the hockey enforcer, but hockey and human society in general. The structure and culture of hockey is held side by side with the culture and structure of our everyday lives to get us to re-examine the way we look at the sport, the enforcers, and the world we live in.
