Tears of the Sun (2003)
Bruce Willis stars as Lt. A.K. Waters, a heroic Navy S.E.A.L. who defies military orders and follows his conscience in director Antoine Fuqua's epic action drama. Sent to the jungles of embattled Africa to rescue a doctor (Monica Bellucci), Waters realizes he must also save the refugees in her care -- even if it endangers him and his troops and places his military career in jeopardy.
Starring: Bruce Willis, Monica Bellucci, Cole Hauser, Eamonn Walker, Johnny Messner, Nick Chinlund, Charles Ingram, Paul Francis, Chad Smith, Tom Skerritt, Malick Bowens, Awaovieyi Agie, Fionnula Flanagan
Director: Antoine Fuqua




Tibet: Cry of the Snow Lion (2003)
Ten years in the making, this feature-length documentary was filmed during nine remarkable journeys throughout Tibet, India and Nepal. Taking viewers to the long-forbidden "rooftop of the world" with an unprecedented richness of imagery, the film powerfully chronicles the dark secrets of Tibet's recent past through interviews, personal stories and archival images. Martin Sheen narrates; Susan Sarandon and Ed Harris provide voice-overs.
Starring: Martin Sheen, Susan Sarandon, Tim Robbins, Ed Harris, Shirley Knight, Edward Edwards, Dalai Lama
Director: Tom Peosay

Arctic Oil Drilling Goes to House Vote
Last Thursday the Senate voted 51 to 48 to allow drilling in the Arctic Refuge as part of a massive budget package; this week the House is expected to take up its version, probably with identical wording. The House vote remains too close to call, but proponents say they are within reach of victory.

The New York Times | Organic Standards Must Be Protected
Ever since 2002, when the Department of Agriculture began its program of national organic certification, there has been a steady lobbying effort to weaken standards in a way that makes it easier for the giant food companies, which often use synthetic substances in processing, to enter the organic market.
