3 w. ago The Guardian view on the impact of Trump’s film tariffs: a disaster movie waiting to happen | Editorial

The US president’s proposed levies will badly hit the UK industry just as it is recovering from a series of blowsBarbieland, the Emerald City and a galaxy far, far away were all built – at least in part – at film studios just outside London. Now the UK film industry has come crashing down to earth with Donald Trump’s threat to impose 100% tariffs on all movies “produced in foreign lands”. “Hollywood is being destroyed,” Mr Trump announced, like an action hero on a mission. “Other nations have stolen our movie industry.” In the UK the news was met with warnings that the British film sector would be “wiped out” by such a “knock-out blow”.

last month Untold: Shooting Guards review – a devastating tale of elite sport’s ruthless cruelty

These NBA stars had it all – until a changing room prank tore their lives apart. This documentary sensitively examines two basketball players’ struggle to cope with success, and the tragic consequencesElite sport has millions of stories about kids who didn’t quite make it, but the bigger tragedy is the young adult who gets to the big leagues then throws it all away, because they can’t cope with the life that success brings. It is peculiarly upsetting to watch from afar as a rare talent is undone by a personality flaw that has nothing to do with the game itself: this lad can do the difficult bit and get the ball in the net, but he can’t withstand the pressure of the media’s gaze, or the disappointment of sometimes not being picked? Can’t someone please help him?The reliable US documentary strand Untold has found numerous variations on this sad old story over the years, and it’s turned up a devastating one in Shooting Guards, which tracks the parallel lives of basketball pros Gilbert ...
