'Catch a Fire' already!

Just a quick endorsement for a wonderful film I saw last night called 'Catch a Fire'. It is based on a true story and set in apatheid South Africa. It is a film about the power of forgiveness, not just between people groups, but also between individuals. It stars Derek Luke from 'Antwone Fisher' and Tim "Shawshank Redemption" Robbins. What was incredibly great about the screening I went to last night was that it was part of the Mill Valley Film Festival and so the director, the writers, several of the actors, including Robbins and Luke, and the man the film's story was about were all in attendance and stayed for a Q &A after the film. Amazing experience!
