Jasmine Singh
I recently watched Humans In A Loop on Netflix after a close friend from Mumbai highly recommended it — and I’m so glad I did. Directed by Aranya Sahay, the film tells a deeply moving story about Adivasi women in rural India who work as data labelers for AI systems.Aranya brings to life a modern-day reality that is both meditative and unsettling, showing how international tech companies rely on Indigenous labour in places like Jharkhand, while often silencing the very voices that make their systems possible.The film is beautifully crafted and supported by strong performances

Title: Whispers of Darkness: The Haunting Tale of 'Monster of Florence
Jasmine Singh
Weather has pretty much changed in Canada; well, let's just say not for good. Darkness seeps in fast, and sometimes this darkness gets to your mind, leaving you unsure of what to do. Here, I was staged by this darkness, and then in dark crevices, I found a limited web series about the first serial killer of Italy.
Thus, director Stefano Sollima’s four-part examination of Italy’s notorious “Mostro di Firenze” murders, which left a trail of 16 dead bodies between 1968 and 1985, can only hint strongly at the identity of the perpetrator. The individual in question vanishe

Inside the Mind of a Monster: Watching Ed Gein Was a Study I Didn’t Expect to Survive
Series Review
Jasmine Singh
After Dahmer and The Menendez Brothers, I wasn’t sure if I had it in me to watch another monster unfold on screen. Netflix had been pushing Monster: The Ed Gein Story into my recommendations every time I logged in—like it knew I was circling the edge of clicking. And as a student of social anthropology, especially interested in the grey zone where psychology meets society, I wondered: What could I possibly learn from watching another broken man commit unthinkable acts?
Eventually, curiosity won. Or maybe it was academic guilt. Either way, I pressed play—and

Something Has Shifted: Bollywood Steps Up for a Flooded Punjab
Jasmine Singh
Bollywood has often embraced Punjab for its vibrant music, colorful culture, and high-energy presence usually in the form of chart-topping songs or scenic locations used to promote films. But rarely has the industry paused to engage with the real Punjab, its struggles, its people, its pain. That’s why what we’re seeing now feels so different.
The recent floods in Punjab that have ravaged large parts of the state seem to have struck a deeper chord, prompting a kind of response we don’t often witness from the Hindi film industry. It could be the sheer scale of destruction
