This blog is a great idea and will get us educated on how to use this modern day method of communication. As for recommended movies, I highly recommend "The Tunnel." This is a German film (subtitles) based on the true story of Harry Melchior, a German Olympic swimming champion who escaped from East to West Berlin and then built a tunnel for his family and friends to follow. This may be relevant to our April selection and the idea of Baghdad being walled. The film presents a good look into the tradgedy of that time in history. Besides, the actor who plays the swimmer is quite a hunk!
