Noisy Valley: The Art of Protest arrives in June

Posted on by Leave a comment

“It’s about what ordinary people do, because what we do… is quite extraordinary.”

Protest matters, and it’s never been more important to raise our voices against injustice. And yet, our rights around marches, demonstrations and activism are being systematically eroded. Noisy Valley explores the importance of protest and what it can achieve, told through the stories of one vibrant community.

In every neighbourhood there are the activists, the ones who raise their voices. Myfanwy Tristram visited the Rhondda Valley in South Wales, inviting local people to recount their memories of the times they’d refused to take things lying down. These stories tell how communities and individuals pushed back on a landfill site that poisoned local streams, a waste processing plant that destroyed an area of natural beauty, sexism in the workplace, the closure of the local hospital and more. Noisy Valley is a testament to protestors who – whatever the political climate – have believed in their power to get things changed.

From SelfMadeHero, Noisy Valley: The Art of Protest by Myfanwy Tristram arrives June 9 in the US and Canada and May 14 in the UK.

Michael Moonwalks into First at the Weekend Box Office

Michael

With brutal reviews from critics and a lot of criticism, Michael was first at the weekend box office with an impressive $97 million domestically and $120.4 million internationally, for a worldwide opening of $217.4 million.

The film had the best opening weekend of all time for a biopic and the biggest opening of 2026 for an original film so far.

The film received very positive reviews from the public showing they don’t care about the film’s flaws or there’s just still an impressive amount of Michael Jackson fans. Let’s face it, fans of the pop star would be the first to head to theaters causing an initial boost in positive reviews from the general public, so it’ll be interesting to see if that stays or if more see it that aren’t fans and that positive score drops. There’s also a chance this film will be frontloaded with fans and see a pretty hard drop. It’s hard to say how this one will play out.

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie slipped to second place with an estimated $21.2 million to lift its domestic gross to $386.5 million. Internationally, the movie added $52.8 million to bring its total to $445 million for a worldwide gross of $831.5 million.

Project Hail Mary was in third place with $13.2 million to bring its domestic gross to $305.4 million. Internationally, it grossed $20 million over the week to bring that to $308 million. Worldwide, the movie has grossed $613.4 million.

Lee Cronin’s The Mummy came in fourth place with $5.6 million. It has now grossed $23.5 million domestically after two weeks. Internationally, the movie added $21.5 million over the week and is now at $42 million. Worldwide, the movie has grossed $65.5 million.

The Drama rounds up the top five with $2.6 million domestically and $44.8 million overall so far. Internationally, it added $14.9 million over the week and now $57 million overall. Worldwide, the movie has grossed $101.8 million.

In comic related movies…

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Movie – Infinity Castle gained a little and is $137 million domestically. Internationally, the movie remained at $604.4 million. Its worldwide gross is $741.3 million.

All You Need Is Kill remained at $695,290 domestically and internationally gained a little and is at $46,328 for a worldwide gross of $741,618.

Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution remained at $16.6 million domestically. Internationally, it also sits at $27.9 million for a worldwide gross of $44.5 million.

Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc remained at $43.4 million domestically. Internationally, the movie added a little and has grossed $119 million. Worldwide, the movie has grossed $162.5 million.

Numbers have 33 movies grossing $150,841,875 from 29,589theaters for an average of $5,097.90. That is compared to last week’s 61 movies grossing $95,049,773 from 32,374 theaters for an average of $2,935.99.

Life is blooming for the Casagrandes!

When Carl gets a class assignment to grow a plant, his seedling struggles in the concrete jungle of Great Lakes City. But the problem isn’t soil or sunlight — it’s that little thing called patience. Uh-oh. Is there any hope for Carl?

Then, Vito’s on babysitting duty, and it’s a beautiful day for a walk in the park with little Carlitos. Only, Carlitos can move a LOT faster than Vito thinks. Run, grandpa, run!

Plus, when a flea market comes to town, Ronnie Anne and Lincoln find a diamond in the rough — but they’ll have to fight to keep it!

All this and more in this spring spectacular featuring stories by the talent behind the Emmy-nominated series THE LOUD HOUSE and THE CASAGRANDES!

Gatchaman: Red Impulse #1

(W) Steve Orlando (A) Riccardo Robaldo

Captain Kentaro Washio takes Ken the Eagle on a blistering training run, but then gets a tip that Galactor is building a weaponized “attack city” designed to lure Gatchaman in and kill them all. With Doctor Nambu unaware and no time for backup, Kentaro goes in alone…and crashes straight into Berg Katse’s trap, where even the “citizens” are killer machines. Outnumbered, grounded, and fighting with nothing but grit and a sidearm, the Captain must demolish an entire city to keep his team safe…especially the son who doesn’t know their bond.
