CPH:DOX Review: Just Animals
Veganism has never been so popular. Arguably, the main contributing factor is the growing awareness of how we treat animals. Not to mention the chain of events which bring livestock to our plates. Animal welfare activists have tried all manner of approaches to get issues the media attention they deserve, over the years, but it …
CPH:DOX Review: 2nd Chance
There are many stupid and completely incomprehensible things about America for non-Americans to try and get their heads round but nothing is more baffling than the relationship the US has with guns. A country where it is legal, in many States, to openly carry weapons and also a nation which has over a hundred firearms …
CPH:DOX Review: A Night of Knowing Nothing
While the government might like to try and portray their country as a modern progressive democracy, nothing could be further from the truth. Traditional discrimination and prejudices, largely in the form of the caste system and the kind of gender inequality that borders on the barbaric, remain. While the current government seems hellbent on fuelling …
CPH:DOX Review: Karaoke Paradise
A lot of people seem to love doing karaoke. Much to my chagrin, it appears to have become popular and trendy again, finally getting the kind of attention in Europe it does in places like Japan and South Korea.

Climate change will likely kill us in the end, but along the way our increasing encroachment into different habitants is likely to cause us a lot of pain. While COVID-19 has changed the world, it’s not likely …
CPH:DOX Review: The Pawnshop
You can trace the history of pawnbrokers or pawnshops back to Ancient China around three thousand years ago. In the West, the concept was adopted by the Ancient Greeks and Romans. They provide a simple yet invaluable service. A customer can get a secured loan against an item of personal property, which acts as collateral. …
CPH:DOX Review: The Chocolate War
Just about everyone loves chocolate. It was first introduced into Britain as a drink and reached the height of its popularity, in this form, during the 18th century. Cadbury and mass production brought the sweet goodness to a whole new market, in the form of a bar, a couple of centuries later. Making it affordable …
CPH:DOX Review: Pleistocene Park
The only way out of this climate crisis is for a unified and swift coordinated global response. In other words, we’re in a whole lot of trouble and the future looks grim. For all the froth and bluster politicians like to spout in front of the cameras, as soon as there’s any sign of a …
