Charlie Wilson's War —
Being political activists, we really liked this movie. The acting was right-on and the movie was very true to the History Channel's documentary on Charlie Wilson. It was a very sound foundation on which to build our opinion of why we should or why we shouldn't be in Iraq. Young people would glean a lot of history out of watching this movie and further their understanding of political, religious, and racial tensions in that part of the world. We recommend it to anyone who wants to be better informed on this part of history and how it continues to this day.
