hidden america intends to fix that . like john mcphee and susan orlean , laskas dives deep into her subjects and emerges with character - driven narratives that are gripping , funny , and revelatory . in hidden america , the stories are about the people who make our lives run every day—and yet we barely think of them . laskas spent weeks in an ohio coal mine and on an alaskan oil rig ; in a maine migrant labor camp , a texas beef ranch , the air traffic control tower at new york’s laguardia airport , a california landfill , an arizona gun shop , the cab of a long - haul truck in iowa , and the stadium of the cincinnati ben - gals cheerleaders . cheerleaders ? yes . they , too , are hidden america , and you will be amazed by what laskas tells you about them : hidden no longer .

at this point one might object and say , sure , laskas seems like a terrific magazine writer , but aren’t we here to review a book ? well , “hidden america” has a dirty little secret : it’s a collection of magazine pieces . some of the pieces fit laskas’s theme better than others . her chapter on the cincinnati bengals’ cheerleaders certainly demonstrates how hard they work . but are they a group of “unseen people who make this country work” ? similarly , her chapter on a los angeles landfill is actually an issue - driven essay on the past and future of trash ; her chapter about the gun store seems more like a mediation between gun - loving america and gun - loathing america than a peek at a hidden america .

for two decades , garment factories , most clustered in los angeles , have produced clothing for some of america’s leading retailers , who have kept production in the u . s . to avoid transportation time and costs and to benefit from higher quality manufacturing processes .
while immigrants often face criticism for stealing jobs , they are the ones being increasingly undercut in america’s clothing industry , forced to accept wages below the legal minimum as retailers fight to pass on bargain prices to consumers .
even as pay is rising rapidly in china , costs in america are falling . the successful extraction of natural gas from shale has dramatically lowered the price of energy . pricewaterhousecoopers , an accountancy firm , reckons that these lower american energy prices could result in 1m more manufacturing jobs as firms build new factories . companies such as dow chemical , a speciality chemicals firm , and vallourec , a french steel - tubes firm , have announced new investments in america to take advantage of low gas prices and to supply extraction equipment .
monáe brings those same qualities to her work in hidden figures , an inspiring drama about three african - american female nasa mathematicians who were instrumental in the race to space against russia . in the spirit of her music , monáe brings swagger , soul , and elegance to the role of mary jackson . she’s sarcastic and biting , unafraid to remain outspoken in the face of institutional racism .
hidden figures pays heartfelt tribute to remarkable women who broke color and gender barriers out of the spotlight , with no headlines proclaiming their achievements . yet for all its energy and joy , when the inevitable images of the real - life hidden figures appear during the movie’s closing credits , it ' s hard not to wish that you’d been watching a deeply delving documentary about them — or that somebody will make one soon .

according to a survey conducted by harvard business school last year , many firms are still deciding against basing activities in america . professors michael porter and jan rivkin asked hbs alumni who were running businesses about their choices of location and found that many of them were deciding to leave because they thought wages abroad were lower than at home . another important reason , though , was to be near customers in big new markets , which this report does not see as offshoring in the conventional sense . messrs porter and rivkin argue that firms are now ready to reconsider offshoring . they realise that in many cases they overdid it , and are discovering hidden costs in moving production a long way from home . but , the authors argue , america’s government is not making the country’s business environment attractive enough for companies to want to come back .

from doomsday cults to biker gangs , from underground fight clubs to suburban swingers , hidden in america shines a light into the most secret corners of american society . using expert analysis and unseen archive footage , this groundbreaking series goes where other shows fear to tread ; revealing the secrets of outlaw gangs , strange sects and forbidden subcultures and giving an insight into society’s mysterious underbelly . members of america’s most notorious and deadly doomsday cults speak out about how and why they were driven to such dramatic acts of devotion . outlaw motorcycle gang members reveal the secret codes of conduct that bind them together – and sometimes tear them apart . swingers explain why they’ve stepped beyond the bounds of monogamy into the world of open relationships . with the militia movement booming in america , gun - toting amateur soldiers explain why they are taking up arms , practising military drills and carrying out armed patrols . the bloodied and bruised members of underground fight clubs reveal why they’re engaging in hand - to - hand combat in suburban garages , abandoned warehouses and dusty junkyards .

it was a very different prison which played a serious role in the comic book version of

the sewing companies cluster in several dilapidated neighborhoods around downtown los angeles . inside block after block of one - and two - story brick buildings , thousands of workers crouch over sewing machines that hum and pop . inside , dust fills the air . windows are covered by grates or bars . factory entrances are hidden in alleyways or parking lots .
we might blame magazines for at least part of our surprise at this . of course fascinating people exist in all sorts of professions . yet we rarely read about them in gq or the new yorker . instead , these publications focus on celebrities , on overachievers , on regular folks who have been sucked up by scandal or disaster . down in that coal mine , however , laskas has an epiphany : “my daily life , ” she writes , “was intimately connected to these people — dependent on them — and yet , up until my time in that mine , i knew nothing about them or their world . ” she decided to fix that , and the nine chapters in “hidden america” cover as many neglected professions .

the cast of
hidden figures
took home the top film prize at the screen actors guild award . backstage , actors taraji p . henson , janelle monae and octavia spencer shared their thoughts on why they believed the film was resonating with audiences .
bcg used to argue that companies unwilling to send their manufacturing to lower - cost countries were putting their very future in jeopardy . now it says that companies will bring manufacturing back to america from china . as soon as 2015 , says hal sirkin , a consultant at the firm , it will cost about the same to manufacture goods for the american market in certain parts of america as in china in many industries , including computers and electronics , machinery , appliances , electrical equipment and furniture . that calculation takes into account a wide variety of direct costs , including labour , property and transport , as well as indirect ones such as supply - chain risk .
and so abdulmutallab was able to step aboard northwest airlines flight 253 . as it descended toward detroit , he allegedly tried to ignite explosives hidden in his underwear . it wasn’t the very expensive , very large 9 / 11 enterprise that prevented disaster . it was a passenger who saw what he was doing and tackled him .
as the example of et water systems showed , transport costs are playing a big part in reshoring . rising shipping , rail and road costs are most damaging for companies that make goods with relatively low “value - density” , such as consumer goods , appliances and furniture , according to a recent mckinsey report on global manufacturing . that makes reshoring or nearshoring more attractive . emerson , an electrical - equipment maker , has moved factories from asia to mexico and north america to be closer to its customers . ikea , a swedish firm that makes products for the home , has opened its first factory in north america as a way to cut delivery costs , and desa , a power - tools firm , has returned production from china to america because savings on transport and raw materials offset the higher labour costs .
some contend that the nation’s bonanza of cheap natural gas has changed the game , making energy - intensive production affordable in america . others , like harold sirkin and michael zinser at boston consulting group , argue that the nation’s quiescent wage rates in comparison to china are making the u . s . relatively more attractive . both camps make important points .

why is my friend , a smart woman with no money , spending nearly $ 2000 to attend a conference she cannot afford ? she is looking for a way out . in america , academic hiring is rigid and seasonal . each discipline has a conference , usually held in the fall , where interviews take place . these interviews can be announced days or even hours in advance , so most people book beforehand , often to receive no interviews at all .

when the audience actually catches up to bucky barnes ( minus the surveillance footage that wasn ' t really him ) he ' s living in secret in bucharest , just trying to keep anyone from recognizing him ( given his very public role in the winter soldier ) . the location is just one of several european hubs around ( and in which ) the movie takes place , but it ' s no coincidence or randomly chosen . actor sebastian stan was born in romania before coming to america , so the directors offered him the chance to return home - even if it was just thanks to movie magic .
scott lang might be starstruck when he first gets recruited by captain america , but once the action kicks off , he shows why a miniature man is valuable in a fight . the most daring attack comes with the help of hawkeye ( jeremy renner ) , as scott lang is sent towards iron man on the tip of an arrow .

all told , about half of laskas’s book doesn’t match her title — and it’s worth noting that it’s the weaker half . given that collections of nonfiction don’t really sell , even when they collect nonfiction as good as laskas’s , one could certainly feel a little cynical about this . but i doubt her subjects will mind . when she first descended into that coal mine , laskas expected to find some mystique — something primal , something patriotic , maybe even something heroic . early on , she decided to run this theory past one of the miners . he responded with a sentiment shared by many of the people in “hidden america” : “the paycheck is the reason we’re there”

the crucial change that has taken place over the past decade or so is that wages in low - cost countries have soared . according to the international labour organisation , real wages in asia between 2000 and 2008 rose by 7 . 1 - 7 . 8 % a year . pay for senior management in several emerging markets , such as china , turkey and brazil , now either matches or exceeds pay in america and europe , according to a recent study by the hay group , a consulting firm . pay in advanced economies , on the other hand , rose by just 0 . 5 % to 0 . 9 % a year between 2000 and 2008 , says the mckinsey global institute . in manufacturing , the financial crisis actually reduced pay : real wages in american manufacturing have declined by 2 . 2 % since 2005 .
as shiny and bright as the chevy bel air that octavia spencer’s character drives — and knows how to repair — hidden figures is a spunky , upbeat spin on a moment of risk - taking hope for cold war america . it’s also an eye - opening reminder of the absurdity , cruelty and pervasiveness of racial segregation a mere half - century ago , even in such rarefied precincts of higher intelligence as nasa’s langley research center . set during the hectic months leading to astronaut john glenn’s 1962 orbit of earth , the film revolves around three key but largely unsung members of the nasa team that made his flight possible . in what can feel like a frustratingly two - dimensional history lesson , albeit one whose resonance is undeniable , it helps that they’re played by a trio of actresses with charm to spare .
troy miller ( dakota pictures ) will produce ten episodes of hidden america , an nbc digital comedy series starring jonah ray . the series will be in essence a comedic version of anthony bourdain’s ‘parts unknown , ’ in which ray will travel to real settings , but talk to fictional people . “this is a real opportunity for me to really talk to fake people in real cities all over this really great country , ” ray said about the show . ten half - hour episodes will be produced , including the pilot which was directed by miller . jonah ray , alex murray , and todd sellers / brillstein entertainment partners will serve as executive producers . miller is a 2015 emmy nominee , outstanding variety show for bill maher : live from dc and is currently directing better later than never for nbc in asia . he’ll begin filming a comedy special for brian regan next month . previous credits include arrested development , flight of the conchords , deadbeat and the office .
actress in a supporting role viola davis , “fences” michelle williams , “manchester by the sea” octavia spencer , “hidden figures” naomie harris , “moonlight” nicole kidman , “lion” immediate reaction : viola davis could win an award for award - winning , given that she always delivers moving , thoughtful speeches . she has a good shot at giving us a little more of that brilliance thanks to her powerful performance as a put - upon wife in “fences . ” she’s also the first black actress to be nominated for three oscars .

the kid with a bike ( french : le gamin au vélo ) is a 2011 drama film written and directed by the belgian brothers jean-pierre and luc dardenne , starring thomas doret and cécile de france .

set in seraing , it tells the story of a 12-year-old boy who turns to a woman for comfort after his father has abandoned him .

the film was produced through companies in belgium , france and italy .

while the kid with a bike does not deviate from the naturalistic style of the dardenne brothers ' earlier works , a comparatively bright aesthetic was employed , as well as a screenplay inspired by fairy tales .

unusually for a film by the directors , it also uses music .

it premiered at the 2011 cannes film festival and was co-winner of the festival 's grand prix .

one way in which both films are similar in their style is the unflinching view of reality . the style with which the dardennes ' brothers film the kid with a bike is through a realistic lens . it is a naturalist approach where the mirroring of reality in all of its most brutal forms is evident . the dardennes ' brothers do not hesitate to depict a realistic world in which pain and suffering are intrinsic to consciousness . . . .

empathy might be the word that best describes the kid with a bike . the dardenne brothers follow cyril not with an intention to judge his misdeeds , nor with any sort of prepacked solution , but rather with the intention of revealing formative moments of a boy who will , in all likelihood , face the spite of society for the rest of his life . it is a film that considers and questions responsibility . how much blame can be put on cyril for his behaviour ? and the father who throws away a would - be murder weapon for the sake of his son ; is he a villain , a victim , or just another reflection of his own environment ? the film does not draw these moral lines , preferring…

vinales won today ' s race after valentino rossi came off the track with a lap to go .
the use of the beethoven , the music soaring , as well as what appears to be a kind of resurrection , makes it easy to read “the kid with a bike” as a religious allegory , though that would be reductive . one thing that makes the dardennes’ work so vibrant , at once new and seemingly timeless , is that they ask the most urgent questions we can ask of ourselves — including , what is it to be human — and in nondoctrinaire , nonproscriptive terms . this isn’t to deny the religious influence , which runs as deep in their films as it does in the outside world , but to argue that they have recast that influence in philosophical and aesthetic terms . “rosetta , ” “the son , ” “the child” and “the kid with a bike” are , in the most expansive sense , good works .
the opening scenes of the kid with a bike , their latest broken - society parable , lay out the usual stall . the camera is hand - held , roving , observational . we follow a central character – thomas doret’s 11 - year - old cyril – who’s constantly on the move , with an itch he can’t scratch . he can’t find his dad , who’s been raising him solo . he’s been left in a children’s home but wriggles free of every attempt to keep him there .
t he kid with a bike is not a character study or a psychological melodrama . it is more of a fairy tale , complete with dark forest where bad things happen and where rules don ' t apply , and a good fairy who appears to draw from a depthless font of good - heartedness and empathy that never needs to be explained , because we all have that in us . we all could choose to be as good and open and uncomplicatedly kind as samantha . she needs no motivation .
i t’s business as usual , more or less , for the dardenne brothers in the kid with a bike ( le gamin au vélo ) . but that can only be good news for their devoted admirers , who know that a deliberately restricted thematic palette and rigorously economical methodology allow the belgian duo to take no - frills realism to emotional places where it doesn’t normally go .
it doesn ' t take long for the essential plot to reveal itself . cyril is a young boy whose father has dropped him off at an orphanage and then disappeared without a word of explanation . cyril cannot accept that his father will not return for him , and he also just wants to go to his father ' s apartment and get his bike . over the course of the film , cyril does get his bike back , and he does find his father , but there ' s no catharsis . what emerges is something else . in this , the kid with a bike feels like real life .
even after moving in with samantha , young cyril is always on the move . running , climbing , pouncing on a kid who steals his bike , fighting , he moves fearlessly and immediately . there is no pause between impulse and action . this is the debut of young thomas doret and it is an extraordinary performance that doesn ' t feel like a performance .

cannes - - as movie titles go , the kid with a bike could hardly be more direct and explicative in its unadorned simplicity . which is a perfect encapsulation of any film by the resolutely unshowy maestros of humanistic portraiture , jean - pierre and luc dardenne . back at the festival that has already crowned them with two palme d’ors ( for rosetta in 1999 and the child in 2005 ) , the belgian siblings are again at the peak of their powers in this impeccably observed drama .

additionally , the dardennes work in a similar style to de sica . the young actor , the real locations , the simple plot , the lack of melodrama - - this 2011 belgian film is very much in line with the 1948 italian film’s aesthetics . collaborating as usual with cinematographer alain marcoen , the dardennes make no move that calls attention to itself . there are no tricky shots , no daring overheads , they maintain a grounded vantage point , which ultimately proves to be more immersive than some glossier fictional efforts , in that the kid with a bike is far more persuasive as a believable narrative . it is being lived , not choreographed .

a girl’s bike befitting a boy with a girl’s name , i guess . while i didn’t come to blows with any of the kids the way that cyril did ( at least not over the bike ) , it did still come to represent a kind of rebellion for me - - i rode it regardless of others’ taunts - - and provided my personal freedom . i could go all over town on it , much faster and with more ease than on two feet . in other words , it could get me away from those other boys whom i didn’t want to hang out with anyway . looking back , i guess it did carry a comparable power to the bike in the movie . it maybe wasn’t about my father’s love , but then , ultimately that’s not what cyril’s represents . it’s about having a vehicle to be who we are and get us to where we feel safe .
the film wastes no time getting underway : cyril , the 11 - year - old boy of the title , places a call to his father . the number is disconnected . he wants his bike back , and , despite the reasoning of the adults at the youth farm where he new lives , cyril refuses to acknowledge that his father may have sold his bike and abandoned him . the bike lifts him out of the meagerness of his life while his father anchors him to the world . losing both things is impossible for the boy to understand .

one way in which both films are similar in their style is the unflinching view of reality . the style with which the dardennes ' brothers film the kid with a bike is through a realistic lens . it is a naturalist approach where the mirroring of reality in all of its most brutal forms is evident . the dardennes ' brothers do not hesitate to depict a realistic world in which pain and suffering are intrinsic to consciousness . this is similar to the italian neorealism style with which de sica films bicycle thieves .
difficult moral and economic conditions
dominate the landscape , and de sica ' s world emphasize this . both films do not hesitate in depicting a reality in which there is an emphasis in the struggle of being human . this struggle occupies both external and internal notions of reality .

the anecdote itself is completely irrelevant to examining this 2011 film from jean - pierre and luc dardenne , and yet it is also everything . the pleasure of watching the kid with a bike [ also on filmstruck ] and , in fact , all dardenne films is the attention to personal details . everything that happens matters to the person it happens to , and the specificity is exactly why audiences around the world , be they in the dardenne brothers’ native belgium or here in the united states , identify with their stories . it’s the bigger things that separate us , and the day - to - day that proves we are all basically the same .

this minimalist approach demands patience from audiences because it is a cinema dedicated to lyricism rather than story . the kid with a bike takes an honored place in the dardenne brothers’ unique and highly praised body of work , powerful examples of realist film making that examine working class lives on the edge . like their past films la promesse , rosetta , the son , l’enfant , and lorna’s silence , this film is ultimately hopeful . the audience is brought effortlessly into the hearts of the characters , and we , too , are transformed .

“many people want to keep the seat low and have the kid pedal with the seat low—they think this is safer because the kid will be able to put his feet on the ground if he begins to fall , ” dr . hinson says . but once they are past the “walking” stage , this is a no - no : “having the seat low makes it really difficult to pedal , as your legs are never fully extended , and when beginners sense they are falling they don’t always put their feet on the ground , but rather let go of the handle bars and basically try to jump off the bike—it’s just instinct , they all do it . ” move the seat up so there’s about a 10 - degree bend in their knee when the pedal is at the bottom of the pedal stroke—their toes should just barely touch the ground .

i find the dardenne ' s much less effective than the critical consensus holds them to be . perhaps its only because they are peddled as consistent masterpiece makers , but i tend to be less impressed by them than most . i keep trying to determine my issues with their films ( most of which i consider to be solid to very good , if never exceptional ) , and on this viewing of the kid with a bike , i hit on a possibility . it ' s clear the filmmakers are aiming for a sort of realism here , with handheld camerawork , performances by largely nonactors , and a story that aims at naturalism - - but the dardennes cheat . they make films that take naturalistic approaches , but are also full of narrative shortcuts or…

model : let’s start by looking at the first two pages of the story that show duck getting up on the bike . in the picture , the farmhouse looks real and the bike looks real . what looks like it is make - believe ? the way duck is climbing up onto the bike with his wing tips on the handlebars is definitely not real . no duck could do that ! and in the text , duck is thinking in english — which also doesn’t happen in real life ! i’ll write both those things under “make - believe . ” i’ll write that ducks don’t ride bikes and ducks don’t think in english under “real . ”
cyril’s search for his father , guy ( jérémie renier , a dardenne regular ) , initially drives “the kid with a bike , ” giving it relentless momentum ( those small legs pump like pistons ) and investing it with palpable peril . early in the film , cyril escapes the home and races out , trying to find his father . he makes his way to the bleak apartment complex where they lived , but all that remains of their life together are empty rooms and peeling walls . for a long , painful moment , cyril stands eerily still in one of the rooms , facing away from the camera — his shoulders look so small — the camera keeping a slight distance from this child who has literally turned his back on the world .
eleven - year - old cyril ( thomas doret ) , all coiled anger and furious motion , is living in a group home but refuses to believe he has been rejected by his single father ( jérémie renier ) . he spends his days frantically trying to reach the man , over the phone or on his beloved bicycle . it is only the patience and compassion of samantha ( cécile de france ) , the stranger who agrees to care for him , that offers the boy the chance to move on . spare and unsentimental but deeply imbued with a heart - rending tenderness , the kid with a bike is an arresting work from the great belgian directors jean - pierre and luc dardenne , masters of the empathetic action film .

it’s hard not to think that the reception for “the kid with the bike” and “habemus papam” might have been more enthusiastic if the filmmakers were unknowns . ( because they are by name directors , they will , in the coming year , be opening if not necessarily at a multiplex near you than probably at an art - house or festival , or perhaps even on video on demand . ) if nothing else , writing about a new director , a discovery , a find , allows critics and journalists to stake a claim on untrodden ground . the problem is that if a film looks , sounds or plays too differently it risks alienating critics , which may help explain why there wasn’t more applause for “footnote , ” a competition high point from the israeli filmmaker joseph cedar .

at first sight , the kid with a bike might appear to be more in the vein of the earlier films than its immediate predecessor . once again , it’s set in seraing , though this time the protagonist is even younger than the kids in la promesse , rosetta , the son , and l’enfant . cyril ( thomas doret ) is an eleven - year - old who , despite all the evidence to the contrary , refuses to believe that his father , guy ( renier ) , has abandoned him , sold the boy’s beloved bike , and moved away on the proceeds without leaving an address . in his frantic attempts to escape his care - home wardens , he encounters samantha ( cécile de france ) , a total stranger who responds to his appeals for help first by going off to find his bike , then by allowing him to visit her on weekends . the hairdresser’s decision to offer cyril help and care doesn’t diminish his resolve to find and live once more with his dad , nor does it stop him from falling in with a potentially far more sinister surrogate parent in the shape of wes ( egon di mateo ) , a local teenager whom samantha suspects of dealing drugs .
taking the loach analogy further , this is the dardennes’ kes , a realistic , unsentimental take on childhood . eleven year - old cyril ( thomas doret ) is one of cinema’s great jds , a feral kid in care refusing to be tamed . for 20 - odd minutes we follow cyril on his quest to find his absconded father ( pointedly played by former dardenne child actor jérémie renier ) and thus his bike . little of consequence happens , but almost by stealth we realise we are caught up in cyril’s world as he is taken under the wing of hairdresser samantha ( cécile de france ) , whose motivations for fostering are vague , and falls in with a local hard kid ( egon di mateo ) .
