The Sixth Section is a groundbreaking documentary that blends digital animation, interviews, cinema verité and home video to tell the story of the transnational organising of a community of Mexican immigrants in New York. The men profiled in the film form an organisation called “Grupo Unión”, which is devoted to raising money in the United States to rebuild the Mexican town that they've left behind. Grupo Unión is one of at least a thousand "hometown associations" formed by Mexican immigrants in the United States. These groups are beginning to have a major impact in the politics and economics of both the U.S. and Mexico.

Nigerian State Security Service (SSS) officers interrogated Tony Eluemunor, the "Daily Independent" newspaper's Abuja bureau chief, on 12 January in connection with the newspaper's 8 January lead story. The story alluded to links between the presidency and an alleged plot to unseat Anambra State Governor Chris Ngige. On 9 and 10 January, SSS officers made repeated visits to the newspaper's Abuja offices to inquire as to the whereabouts of Eluemunor. When they were informed that the reporter was out of town, they left strict orders for him to report to the director of special operations (DSO) at the SSS headquarters in Abuja.
