Eden, the film
At last year’s Toronto International Film Festival Sarah spoke to director Mia Hansen-Løve about her film exploring the French house music scene of the ’90s, Eden.
The film, which roughly follows the adventures of her brother/DJ Sven Hansen-Løve, also features some amusing misadventures about Daft Punk.
With the film set for release in America Sarah interviewed Mia Hansen-Løve for Consequence Of Sound.

Music fans know Rikki Rockett as the drummer for classic hair metal band Poison.
In the martial arts world, though, he’s a legit jiu-jitsu black belt.

Sarah and her mom at a jiu-jitsu tournament.
Back when Jon Jones fought Daniel Cormier at UFC 182 a series of peculiar circumstances required Sarah to order the fight on pay-per-view and watch it with her mother and grandmother.
MMA is not something her mother and grandmother watch normally.
Sarah explained what this experience was like in a special article she wrote for Fightland.

One of the weirdest things to come out of the Mayweather-Pacquaio fight last week was the appearance of the super-creepy Burger King mascot “The Burger King.”
It seemed really peculiar at the time, but it turns out the King of the Whopper’s presence at fighting events isn’t all that strange.
Sarah explained why in an article for Fightland.

There’s a rather sinister narrative in certain sectors of the autism community that parents of autistic children have been saddled with a burden so dramatic that only a eugenics-minded grim reaper could rectify their issues.
This is bullshit.
Sarah explained why recently in her first op-ed piece for The Guardian.
