Polanski Expresses Regret Whilst New Film Premieres Zurich, NY Fests

ByCBG Reading Time: 1 minute

Roman Polanski made a documentary whilst under house arrest in Switzerland and his expression of regret for raping a 13 year old girl in 1977 first happened whilst this documentary was made. Sadly this has now grown into part of the overall media promotion for the documentary which covers much more of the author’s childhood than his crime.

The Daily Telegraph article covering the Zurich showing is here, whilst the BBC article is here.

    Sharing – Mental health for all?

    The Commission report is, obviously, based on what was found in the UK. I have little doubt that similar realities exist in just about every country. And, just about every country can look not just at this overview, but also some of the more detailed information and recommendations from the PDF and find relevant information.

    To be honest, this overview sounds a lot like what I’ve read from various sources about the US system as well, and it’s about time we started thinking about what support for mental health looks like in our own communities.

    Proof again, as if we needed any, that child abuse exists across all of our borders and within all cultural groups. No one segment of society need not be concerned about it, and until we can admit that it’s not happening to “other people”, we will not find any serious solutions. According to a July…

    What I find interesting about this, beyond the obvious take that many people out there are not doing well, is that if you asked this same question to many of your friends, coworkers, and acquaintances, you probably wouldn’t see the same thing. There’s something about trauma-dumping to a fictional character that allows us to be honest without fear that we are too much for people to deal with. I worry about it all the time. If you asked me how I am on any given day, 99% of the time, I’d say something like “Not bad.” I might admit to struggling the other one percent of the time, but also probably downplay it.

    Let me tell you a secret. I struggle much more than one percent of the time. I also don’t want people to worry about me, and I don’t want my struggles to be too much for the people in my life. I make my emotions small to protect other people. I know I’m not the only one.

    Sharing – The impact of Facebook and Instagram on teens isn’t so clear

    In the end, here’s the thing. You, and your kids, are not a study. You are all individuals, who may be negatively impacted by social media, or not. You may need to consider not using it, you may need to consider changing up who you’re following to get stuff that is good for your mental health into your feeds, or you may be perfectly fine using it the way you are. It might even be helping you and having a positive impact on your lives.

    Only you can truly judge that. If it’s harming you, I hope you’ll consider making changes. Follow the social media accounts for this blog if you want to start getting more information like this, or just stop using it altogether. If it’s helping you feel supported and less alone in the world, then enjoy that and I hope you’ll continue to share that within your social media circles.

    As I have said many times – do what works for you.
