    My Secret Life is an anonymously penned memoir written during a period from the 1840s to the 1880s by a wealthy and sex obsessed English gentleman who refers to himself simply as ‘Walter’. Part confessional, part investigative erotic journalism, it meticulously documents every detail of the author’s prolific sexual encounters, offering us in the process an eye and thigh opening account of life behind closed doors in the Victorian age.Women, in both mind and body, were the all consuming object of Walter’s interest. From early youth through to old age his quest for erotic discovery and adventure with them was never diminished.Unlike contemporary 19th century erotic texts, such as The Pearl, whose sole object was to titillate, Walter’s interest in his subjects did not end with the extinguishing of the carnal flame. His hunger to understand the circumstances and minds of the women he encountered is never upstaged by the sex. Their potted life histories, their most intimate desires and acts were shared with him and in turn meticulously recorded by him, written down verbatim while still fresh in his mind.The resulting poignant record of a lost era and the intimate moments of the women who inhabited it offer us a remarkable insight into the 19th century that cannot be gleaned from any other source.The complete unabridged text is being released as a fully scored audiofilm (an audio book with accompanying music soundtrack) by film composer Dominic Crawford Collins.

    “Our grandfathers had to run, run, run. My generation's out of breath. We ain't running no more.” – Stokely Carmichael 
    In the late 1960s, Stokely Carmichael would become one of the most influential and controversial figures in America, founding and leading new organizations while being meticulously shadowed by the country’s national security apparatus, particularly J. Edgar Hoover’s FBI. The attention would ultimately compel him to move to Africa, where he changed his name to Kwame Ture and became one of the world’s most famous Pan-African leaders until his death in Guinea in 1998.  
    Since then, he has remained a subject of both praise and criticism, from contemporaries and historians alike. SNCC Chairman Phil Hutchings, despite being the one who pushed Carmichael out of the organization, aptly summed up the dichotomy: "Even though we kidded and called him 'Starmichael', he could sublimate his ego to get done what was needed to be done....He would say what he thought, and you could disagree with it but you wouldn't cease being a human being and someone with whom he wanted to be in relationship."
