How did Egypt's creative minds respond to the revolution. We ask six artists, and talk to the founder of In Place of War, a project that champions work born out of conflict
James Thompson first had the idea for what would become In Place of War when he was working in Jaffna, Sri Lanka, in 2000, during the civil war. Thompson comes from an academic and theatre background and was invited there by Unicef, which had received a request from Jaffna community workers for someone experienced in developing theatre programmes for young people.

Unknown movie review: Unknown is a solid thriller that overcomes its familiar storyline. It boasts a sterling performance by Liam Neeson and will keep you entertained. Bad guys never learn. You don’t want to tick off Liam Neeson. As in “Taken”, Neeson is on the warpath in “Unknown”. This time he doesn’t even know who he is. “Unknown” isn’t particularly original or daring in any way. But it does keep your interest and will give you the requisite thrills required for the genre. Neeson stars as Dr. Martin Harris who is in Berlin for a biotech summit. Martin is with his wife Elizabeth (January Jones lovely as ever) and they are looking forward to the summit and spending some quality time together...
