i just came back from my annual trip to harlem. every year, around this time, i head uptown... way uptown... to watch a film, generally attended by the filmmaker and followed by a panel discussion. all in celebration of black history month. tonight the film was liberia, america's stepchild. it was a documentary. a well documented documentary with an impressive amount of footage. i mean there was footage where you would not imagine anyone would want to take a picture, let alone shoot a video. child soldiers, a mutilated samuel doe and subversive politics. as the light's came up i commented to my friend "wow, what a depressing film!"
i need a stiff drink right now. darn it! i wish i had figured out how to smuggle the bottle of rum out of the pre-show reception. my advice to you. well worth the watching. really is. but, pack a drink or two.

When you watch movies like that, you always think, "Damn, why am I complaining about the traffic?" It's hard sometimes to remember that there's usually someone else in the world way worse off than you are.
Hello, Pandave. I'll certainly put the film on the "list."
I am Winters, BTW. Though slightly transformed. ;)
Have a great weekend.
