"Wir sind das Volk."

In German it means, "We are the people."

This chant echoed through the streets of Chemnitz, Germany,

this week, as far-right protesters set out

to vent their frustrations, create mayhem and attack refugees.

It was also heard in Clausnitz in early 2016,

as a mob of Germans surrounded a bus of refugees entering

their town.

And later that year in Bautzen,

as 80 Germans chased some 20 teenage refugees

through the streets.

The chant has become a go-to for the German far right.

But it wasn't always an extremist rallying cry.

"Leipzig is a city of protest again tonight."

In 1989, people in East Germany took to the streets

to demand more freedom, after living

under an oppressive communist regime for decades.

Their movement was neither of the right nor the left.

It was a cry for democracy.

After German reunification,

the chant largely disappeared.

But in recent years, it has been

co-opted by far-right groups

who violently oppose Angela Merkel's open border policies.

FEBC Thailand has discharged a team of staff members to join relief efforts in Laos.

Over 10,000 people are suffering from flooding after a catastrophic dam collapse in the Attapeu province.

As the team prepares to travel they ask for prayer as they face roads wiped out by landslides.

FEBC Thailand's staff has also traveled to the Bangkae District where they visited

a disabled, elderly listener named Mrs. Wanna.

The team partnered with a local church to pray for and encourage Mrs. Wanna, who has

been a faithful listener for over a decade, despite facing continuous poverty.

Read more on Mrs. Wanna's story at febc.org/news.

They reported that many believers have formed listener clubs in their villages, where people

gather together to listen to FEBC Radio programs.

So far, there are over 4,000 reported listener clubs ministering to Yao Muslims in Malawi.

60 radios were distributed during FEBC President Ed Cannon's recent visit to Cambodia with

3-time GRAMMY nominated group, The Nelons.

Chadwick Boseman: "If There's a Campaign, It's For Best Picture" | THR News - Duration: 2:25.

The announcement that next year's Academy Awards will introduce an Oscar

for "outstanding achievement in popular film" has raised many questions.

For example, how exactly will the new award even be defined? Is popularity

merely quantifiable by box-office success? Or can it include films that disrupt the

status quo, make history and open up the conversation about representation

and inclusion? Disney and Marvel's ground-breaking 'Black Panther' checks both

of those boxes but, as many have argued, the superhero blockbuster also deserves

a shot at the prestigious best picture award.

Among those troubled about the situation is the film's A-list star, Chadwick Boseman

who spoke about his concerns on The Hollywood Reporter's 'Awards Chatter' podcast.

In the episode that went live on Wednesday, Boseman explained, "We don't know

what it [the new prize] is, so I don't know whether to be happy about it or not.

What I can say is that there's no campaign [that we are mounting] for popular film;

like, if there's a campaign, it's for best picture, and that's all there is to it."

Boseman feels that the introduction of the popular Oscar category should not deter

Academy members from nominating a popular film in the best picture Oscar category.

The Academy has confirmed that films can be nominated in both categories.

"A good movie is a good movie, "says Boseman. "And clearly it doesn't matter how

much money a movie makes in order for it to be 'a good movie' [in the minds of

Academy members] because if [it did], the movies that get nominated and win

[which have tended in recent years to not be blockbusters] wouldn't get nominated;

and if it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter on both sides."

The actor adds, "For my money, the only thing that matters is the level of difficulty."

And 'Black Panther' was certainly a difficult movie to create. As Boseman puts it,

"We created a world, we created a culture ... we had to create a religion, a spirituality,

a politics; we had to create an accent; we had to pull from different cultures

to create clothing styles and hair styles."

He continues, "It's very much like a period piece. ... So, as far as that's concerned,

I dare any movie to try to compare to the [level of] difficulty of this one. And the fact

that so many people liked it — if you just say it's [merely] popular, that's elitist."
