The film includes Grace's unique performances singing iconic hits such as Slave To The Rhythm, Pull Up To The Bumper, as well as the more recent autobiographical tracks Williams' Bloods and Hurricane. These personal songs also link to Grace's family life, as the film takes us on a holiday road trip across Jamaica, where her family roots and the story of her traumatic childhood are uncovered. In Jamaican patois, 'Bloodlight' is the red light that illuminates when an artist is recording and 'Bami' means bread, the substance of daily life. Grace Jones: Bloodlight and Bami weaves together the layers of Grace Jones' public and private life, as she moves effortlessly between different facets: she is gypsy, artist and partying hedonist, warm and funny but also a fierce and tenacious businesswoman. The performance continues to move thematically though the film, with Love Is The Drug acting like an aria, bringing the film to its final and most touching scenes. This is a Grace we have not seen before, someone who reminds us of what it is to dare to be truly alive.

He found all his victims through gay dating and social media sites, using multiple online profiles.

Some have accused the police of institutional homophobia, and asked if officers would have investigated more thoroughly, had four young women turned up dead within such a small radius.

TV Show: The 2000s ( 2018 )
From Emmy Award-winning executive producers Tom Hanks, Gary Goetzman, and Mark Herzog comes The 2000s. The seven-part CNN Original Series explores the cultural and political milestones of the decade including technological triumphs like the iPhone and social media, President George W. Bush's war on terror and response to Hurricane Katrina, Barack Obama's presidential election, and the financial crisis, hip-hop's rise to dominance and a creative renaissance in television. The first decade of the 21st Century was one of the most dramatic in American history. The 2000s began with a controversial election, quickly followed by the devastating terror-attacks of 9/11. As a result, the United States launched two wars and adopted unprecedented security measures. Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast in 2005 as the most destructive natural disaster in the nation's history. In 2008, the economic system teetered on the edge of collapse as bankruptcies and bailouts dominated headlines. In that same year, America elected its first black president, a remarkable achievement given the countries past. Hip-hop continued its ascendance while digital advances, like the iPod, encouraged the democratization of American music. Television entered its "Second Golden Age" and perhaps the most significant cultural changes were those prompted by the maturation of the Internet and the advent of social networks, with sites like Facebook revolutionizing the ways we interact.
