Alcohol: No substance in the world seems so familiar to us and is so incredibly diverse in its effect. Alcohol is available everywhere and this particular molecule has the power to affect all 200 billion neurons of our human brain in completely different ways. But hardly anyone calls alcohol a drug despite its psychoactive and cell-destroying effect. Why do we tolerate the death of three million people every year? Have we turned a blind eye to the dangers and risks for thousands of years? What role does the powerful alcohol industry play with an annual turnover of 1.2 trillion euros in this on-going concealment? The author, who himself enjoys having a drink, looks into the question why we drink at all, what alcohol does to us and to what extent the alcohol industry influences society and politics.

Filmen ’Proxima’ handler om astronauten Sarah Loreau, der skal på en mission ud i rummet, som strækker sig over et helt år. Det er ikke kun de hårde forberedelser, som går forud for turen til Den Internationale Rumstation, der er en udfordring for hende. Hun må nemlig også forlade sin lille datter, når først hun letter fra Jordens overflade. Sarah er desuden den eneste mor, som skal med på missionen, hvor ikke alle de mandlige kollegaer ser hende helt som deres ligemand. ’Proxima’ er på den måde en film, der kredser om temaer som moderskab og familie, videre til spillet mellem mand og kvinde samt passion og det at gå efter drømmen - selvom man må give afkald på nogle vigtige ting i livet. I hovedrollen som Sarah finder man Eva Green, der bl.a. er kendt fra sine roller i The Dreamers, Casino Royale, Sin City: A Dame to Kill For og Dark Shadows.
