blog is world wide, but if you are in LA and have some time open tomorrow
(Sunday, January 13) you might want to attend the WGA sponsored –

COUNTY USA - Barbara Kopple’s
classic documentary..

organizing with an Academy Award winning performance by Sally Field that is to die for – and yes, we really, really like her.

Admission is free, families are welcome, and all of these films are all
classics of five-element storytelling. (OK, Newsies may not technically be classic, but
younger kids really love it and this is a family affair).

The event is free, the films are about people struggling to win their
economic freedom – hey, if you have the free time you should definitely check
them out.
