So many interesting things to check out!

If anyone is looking for one more thing to watch, I'll add that my favorite film from Sundance debuted on PBS POV this week, and is available on demand:

Filmed surreptitiously over 5 years, Midwives tells story of two woman, a Buddhist midwife and her Muslim apprentice, who work in community torn by ethnic cleansing and military violence.

A compelling story of woman who resist oppression by providing essential medical care in the middle of violent persecution. Far more complicated and varied in tone than one might assume from a summary--it earned it's award at Sundance.

Hi Ty. Thank you for your Thanksgiving recommends -- we will indeed be looking to spend a lot of at-home movie time this weekend and we will appreciate your food for thought along with our delicious food for (over) eating. Thanksgiving eve seems like an appropriate time to remember to actually do what we think so many times a week, i.e., to thank you for the Watch List and your intelligent and always interesting thoughts. In a short time, you've become a member of our film life and an ever-welcome guest in our home. Happy Thanksgiving. Nell & Gregg Borgeson
