"Inside Job", Charles Ferguson's documentary about the financial meltdown, plays
Tuesday May 31 at 7:30 at the Unitarian church.  Free, but donations requested.
The interviews with academics who can't perceive their own corruption are shocking.
A panel discussion at Stanford featuring Ferguson drew a couple hundred people. He
said some of these guys earn 25X as much from their consulting work as they do from
their professorial salaries.

"The First Grader" deals with colonialism, literacy, sticking to your guns, and the 
value of old revolutionaries in a tale about an 84-year-old Kenyan who won't take 
no for an answer in his quest for an education.   Inspiring.  That's at Palo Alto Square,
probably not for long.  

"Even the Rain" is about water, European attitudes, and revolution in Bolivia.  It
ain't art--the arc of character is clumsily contrived--but its heart is in the right place
and it's well done aside from the script.    Friday, June 3, San Jose Peace and
Justice Center, 6:30.  Includes Bolivian food, $5--$10 requested.
