[Oe List ...] Movie nights

[Priscilla Wilson]

Two of the recent foreign films are outstanding.
Tsotsi (2005) - takes place in Johannesburg South Africa...and is a  
film you can't get out of your mind for days.
and
The White Rose - German student resistance in Munich during WWII.  
Very powerful. You can get it through Amazon.com...I don't know if  
you can get Tsotsi.
Also you might think about the four Documentary Films nominated for  
Oscars this year. All were very powerful.


THE MUSHROOM CLUB

GOD SLEEPS IN RWANDA

its bloody recent history.


A NOTE OF TRIUMPH: THE GOLDEN AGE OF NORMAN CORWIN

THE DEATH OF KEVIN CARTER: CASUALTY OF THE BANG BANG CLUB
