Overview

Bill Moyers takes a piercing look at how global economic changes are destroying the lives and livelihoods of hardworking Americans. The documentary follows several individuals and their families in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, as they fight to make ends meet in the “new economy.” In sheer numbers, more jobs were created than lost in America during the last decade, but a look behind those numbers reveals a shortage of jobs that pay enough to support a family. The program intimately portrays the lives of workers and their families as they struggle to make it in today’s job market.

Dictionnaire amoureux du parfum

Mar 20, 2025

The driving force behind our transformations, an instrument of social affirmation, a weapon of emancipation: how did perfume, from a simple bottle, become both a reflection of our personal revolutions and an object of gender manipulation? Over the centuries, its notes have been in tune with those of history, clinging to the necks of struggles and the wrists of wars. Its bottles have perfumed wars and revolts and continue, even today, to reflect the social norms that surround and confine us. This film, like the book from which it is adapted, is a declaration of love for perfume.
