What happens when you speak with Hollywood stars and entertainershalf pro-Trump and half againstposting the question, ';Can we talk?' Since the 2016 presidential campaigns, Conservatives, Liberals, Democrats, Republicans, Whites, and non-Whites in America began saying loudly that they are ';Fighting for America.' Yet, by the 2020 presidential elections, they were even more divided than united despite all the good intention of the most. Now that America is well into 2021, it is time to yearn for ';One America' but without ';fighting.' But here is the caveat! To achieve ';One America,' the ';Trump Phenomena' must first be understood. Next, ';Discrimination' and ';Racism' in America must be re-visited. After that, ';Cancel Culture' and ';No-No Rhetoric' must be handled promptly and sensitively. Finally, Hollywood must first embrace #MeToo Movement and then come up with a long-term strategy. Filmmakers of the Trump vs. Hollywood documentary, Daphne Barak and Erbil Gunasti brought on board twenty-four Hollywood stars and entertainers in a documentary to discuss these topics. Half were chosen among pro-Trump, and half against. Daphne interviewed both sides, posing the question: ';Can We Talk?'Struggling For One America stands as the genesis of this documentary. This book in that respect points at the presumptive and pretended ';Culprits' and ';Scapegoats' in the current divide, while focusing on what is obvious. The two White Houses are standing tall, in plain sight, and a step further on the wrong direction from this moment on would be nothing less than repeating history.

'Perhaps the most startling thing about Amy Winehouse's death was how startled people were by it.' - Alex Petridis, the Guardian 25 July 2011Since the phenomenal success of her 2006 album Back to Black, Amy Winehouse was rarely out of the news, but her extraordinary talent as a performing artist had long been overshadowed by her private life, her turbulent relationship with the media and her very public battle with addiction. Yet when the news began to filter through, in July 2011, of Amy's death, people were truly shocked. How had it come to this? How could so much talent be so wasted? Why had no one stepped in to save Amy? Where had it all gone so tragically wrong?Daphne Barak's compelling book, Saving Amy, tells the story of Amy Winehouse's struggle to overcome her own personal demons. Based on exclusive interviews and the diaries and personal recollections of international interviewer Barak, who spoke intimately with the Winehouse family in London, St Lucia and other locations, the book is also a painful account of a family dealing with addiction.
