on sunday i saw world peace and other 4th grade achievements as part of the atlanta film festival and i'd really like to recommend it to everyone, though it isn't in wide release and i don't know when it comes out on DVD or how widely that will be available.

basically i'm telling you to see a movie that you may not be able to see.  i am a jerk.

nora recommended this movie to me - she saw it in DC earlier this year - and recently i was so glad to find out that it was coming to atlanta!

i got a little (a lot) weepy in the dark of the theater at the end of this movie, just thinking about teachers and students and world problems and little kid minds.  that is only heightened today, i guess, with the news that osama bin laden was killed last night in pakistan.  real world problems, real world solutions.  no winners: only losers.  but finality, and no american deaths yesterday in this operation, and those are good things.  incredible news to wake up to, though; i had to blink myself awake enough to concentrate on NPR when i would normally be dozing before really waking up.
