Interview with released prisoner and cancer patient Mohammad Aklouk, who had been detained since the start of the war. Mohammad describes the horrific conditions of his detainment, including the small, oppressive cell windows and the inability to see sunlight. The repression units frequently ordered prisoners to drop to the ground and brutally beat them. Mohammad emotionally recalls a fellow prisoner, Mohammad Al-Kahlout from Jabalia, who was struck in the head and died in his arms. Aklouk is one of 70 prisoners who were released on June 11th 2024 through the Zikim crossing west of Beit Lahia currently staying in Kamal Adwan Hospital.

Dana mentions that her family often inherits light skin on her mother’s side, but Jordan grows up to be lighter than his parents, to the point where he could pass for a white kid. There’s also the matter of Jalon Christian, who plays teenage Jordan. And Jordan himself doesn’t really play into the narrative, which is weird given that the film is literally about his father writing to him it isn’t until he hits adolescence that he starts to learn about his father. Somebody should have told Williams and editor Hughes Winborne to shape the story in a way that unfolds naturally, as Jordan goes from a newborn to a year old to a teenager in the space of a few scenes. First, it starts in 1993, then leaps to the early 2000s and then ends in 2018. As this is her first major feature film, I hope that casting directors keep an eye on her after this film.Ī Journal For Jordan also feels extremely discombobulated due to its random time jumps. It also marks a very important question: what does Dana see in the guy, other than perfectly chiseled abs? Adams does most of the heavy lifting emotionally, including a scene that feels contrived for dramatic purposes when they attempt a long-distance relationship, and she excels at it. Given that King died during a tour of duty in Baghdad, it’s baffling that the audience isn’t given a chance to connect with the man beyond surface details such as his taste in music and his art skills. Maybe he’s trying to emulate how King was in real life, but every role he’s played-from voicing Julian Chase in gen: LOCK to the quiet fury of John Kelly in Without Remorse-has left me with my eyes glued to the screen. Jordan has tamped down his trademark charisma, coming off as oddly stiff. However, a few factors end up hobbling the film.Ĭhief among them is the chemistry, or rather, the lack of it between Jordan and Adams. So on paper, the two working together should be a home run they even serve as producers on the film. Denzel Washington is one of the most celebrated actors alive and his transition into directing has resulted in films including The Great Debaters and Fences. Jordan has grown into one of my favorite actors, starring in blockbuster hits such as Black Panther and even transitioning into producing with his Outlier Society banner. When I first heard about A Journal For Jordan, it definitely piqued my interest. Before he’s deployed to Iraq, Dana gives Charles a journal which he fills with fatherly advice for Jordan.

There is a reactionary romanticism of life lived in service of country here that, while in step with what audiences might expect from a holiday film, feels out of touch with the world as we know it right now.A Journal For Jordan, directed by Denzel Washington and written by Virgil Williams, is a Columbia Pictures/BRON/Escape Artists production based on the memoir A Journal for Jordan: A Story of Love and Honor by Dana Canedy, which is an expansion of her New York Times article “From Father to Son, Last Words to Live By”. The melodramatic ending here is obvious and, while I won’t spoil it, it still feels strange to see such a recent global event be treated with such an overly sentimental veneer. Expecting a child together, Dana gifts Charles a journal that he comes to fill with loving advice and wisdom for his future son during his tour of Iraq.

And while that’s not always a bad thing, this year’s yuletide flick, A Journal for Jordan, feels particularly dated and often times emotionally cloying.Īdapted from the 2009 novel by former New York Times senior editor Dana Canedy and directed by onscreen titan Denzel Washington, the film follows the relationship of Dana (Chanté Adams) and Charles (Michael B.

MICHAEL B. JORDAN as Charles King

A Journal for Jordan (2021)

Why were media outlets not releasing Daniel Penny’s name, but doing a full data dump on everything they know about Jordan Neely??

I mean, I know why, but isn’t it supposed to be in the public interest to know the name of a person who committed murder, even if only “allegedly”? IF the NYPD ever gets around to arresting him and charging him with a crime, he will still get his day in court—unlike Jordan Neely, the man he murdered for the “crime” of having a bad day while being Black in public.

Daniel Penny has had an entire day or so to scrub his social media accounts of any information that might incriminate him or show any racist tendencies.

Every year on 15 May Palestinians mark the Nakba, "catastrophe' in English, when around 750,000 Palestinians were forcibly expelled from their homes by Zionist militias to make way for the creation of lsrael in 1948. It is an event that has shaped politics in lsrael and Palestine ever since, and one which Palestinians say continues today in different forms of war, occupation, siege, home demolitions, land confiscations and more. Those expelled in 1948 and their descendants number 5.8 million refugees today, living mostly in neighbouring Arab countries. lsrael has never allowed Palestinian refugees to return to their homeland, making their plight the longest unresolved refugee crisis in modern history.

Jordan Peele for W.S.J.

Can you say coverup??

Mayor Eric Adams, journalists and the NYPD all conspired to keep Daniel Penny’s name protected while assassinating the character of Jordan Neely.

And, as if that wasn’t bad enough, they all have repeatedly omitted the fact that Daniel Penny’s father is a retired, high ranking NYPD police officer who very likely worked with Eric Adams when he was a cop. These are completely newsworthy and germane facts, but the media is bending over backwards to not mention any of it.

EDIT: Please reblog with this important correction:

I have turned off the previous version of this post so as not to add to disinformation

Now, we learn that the gruesome video that was released has been edited to omit the parts where Daniel Penny was warned that he was killing Jordan Neely, but continued choking him anyway.

Worse still, Penny has not been arrested. And instead of charging Daniel Penny, the police are trying to force a Grand Jury hearing instead of doing what they would do if the positions were reversed and Neely had murdered Penny in cold blood, in front of dozens of witnesses.

This entire thing is a perverted travesty of justice and reveals just how closely journalists work with the police to protect the police and other murderous white supremacists.

This is what intertwined systems of structural racism looks like.

We need justice for Jordan Neely.
