Movie Recommendation of the Week

Catch a Fire

We don’t even know if it was really good or just interesting to us because we are living in Southern Africa. Being neighbors to South Africa and learning first hands about events they have gone through in our lifetime is a fascinating new thing to study. It was a movie that showed the importance and need for a strong civil society that makes a stand and demands change. Even though, we don’t agree with non-peaceful ways of demanding change, South Africa is case and point of the need for people to stand up and fight for their rights. Civil society is an even more essential element of fighting injustice, when the powers that be do not care enough about the plight of the oppressed. Net Flix it.
