    Last night I watched a BBC doc about Iran using prisoners as hostahes and decided to look into what the prisoners had been charged with. Couldn't find much detail but did find this very intersting article which I hadn't come across before.

    Also found out that the 1950s animated film of Animal Farm was made after the CIA bought the rights to ensure that the film focused on communists rather than the broader critique contained in Orwell's book.
