Instead of relying on traditional means of hiding someone’s identity in an interview—think of shadowy figures with altered voices or an off-screen disembodied narrator—France uses “deepfake” technology to overlay their faces with that of volunteers’, obscuring their identifiable features and allowing the filmmaker to show their side of the story: the heartbreak, agony, loneliness, fear and uncertainty of fleeing your homeland for your life.

There's no fucking way that's real, right? What kind of a machine has a gait like that?
Are those sounds real or does it just play a recording of a cool sci-fi rhythm??

Thousands of Iowans are still coping with the aftermath of a storm that pummeled the state last Monday with 100-mile-per-hour winds — a storm that flattened corn and soybean crops, damaged grain elevators and leveled banks, churches and homes.

Wouldn't be a truly GREAT depression without a severe crop shortage and inevitable famine
On the plus side, after Trump gets re-elected, in two years when he's still happily ridiculing the starving mobs of long-unemployed near-savages, he'll almost certainly be lynched

I admire your optimism but trump's CHARISMA will certainly have his mobs lynching the non-MAGAers, then the not-adequate-dedication-to-MAGAers, and then self-lynching en masse, leaving only the 1% (DOW will hit 40,000 despite GDP going negative)

Trump's charisma will only continue to go up as he slips deeper and deeper into dementia
