It has been a week since Sir Peter Openshaw delivered his report to the Gibraltar government.

My client, Ian McGrail, has asked that it is now published and for confirmation that if findings of misconduct or impropriety, those responsible will resign.

This is a wonderful film, so a trek over to N London may be in order to see it on the big screen. Julia Wagner writes really well about film, and the book will be worth reading.

What a wonderful way to celebrate both a landmark film and the launch of Dr. Wagner’s book. Preserving stories like Hester Street feels vital—not just for cinema, but for cultural memory. In your view, what makes this film’s themes resonate so strongly even 50 years later?
