Anna and the King (1999)
In this fact-based 19th century tale, Anna Leonowens (Jodie Foster), an English widow with a young son, travels to Asia to tutor the king of Siam's 58 children. Brimming with prejudice, Anna believes the king (Chow Yun-Fat) is an uncivilized barbarian with little understanding of western sensibilities. Eventually, however, Anna and the king realize that, regardless of their drastically different views, east can meet west.
Starring: Jodie Foster, Chow Yun Fat, Bai Ling, Tom Felton, Syed Alwi, Randall Duk Kim
Director: Andy Tennant


Howard Zinn: You Can't Be Neutral on a Moving Train (2004)
Author of the pivotal A People's History of the United States, historian and activist Howard Zinn has been at the forefront of progressive thought in America for decades. Through archival materials, interviews with Noam Chomsky, Marian Wright Edelman, Daniel Ellsberg, Tom Hayden and Alice Walker, and commentary from Zinn himself, this documentary chronicles the influential thinker's inspiring commitment to social change. Matt Damon narrates.

Can the C.I.A. legally kill a prisoner?

"I'm concerned that the government isn't going forward on these prosecutions," Durbin said of the C.I.A. cases. "It's really hard to follow the Administration's policies here. I think the world was very simple before 9/11. We knew what the law was, and I understood it to apply to everyone in the government. Now there's real uncertainty. There's a shadow over our nation that needs lifting."
