This year, The Middle Road will have a renewed focus on ESG, sustainable and investment finance, development economics, art, culture, and well-being. Nishant will be interviewing a diverse range of global social change-makers, bringing insightful conversations to the forefront. In addition to these discussions, there will be reads and online courses incorporating topics on well-being, art, and culture. Music, movies, and other artistic expressions will receive enhanced attention. Expect reviews of films from various countries, including The Shawshank Redemption from Hollywood, The Artist, the French film that made a global impact, Snatch from the UK, Infernal Affairs, and possibly Goodbye Mr. Loser from China, along with a couple of films from India. Music and other aspects of art will also be explored in greater depth.
If you have any recommendations related to the countries or regions I’ve mentioned, please feel free to reach out to Nishant Malhotra at nishant@themiddleroad.org.
