Travel-hungry author and journalist Tim Moore recently took to the road to tackle the route of the old Iron Curtain along the borders of eastern Europe – all 8,000km of it. And he did it all on a tiny-wheeled, two-geared East German shopping bike, as told in his book “The Cyclist Who Went Out in the Cold”.

Australian film-maker David Michôd’s latest film ‘War Machine’ is now on Netflix. Rich with satire, it stars Brad Pitt as a US military man trying his best to bring some peace to Afghanistan – and its real-life source material asks just as many challenging questions.
