Discussion anybody?

This remarkable film was shown recently on Bravo. I taped it and watched it tonight.
I found it compelling, brilliant and as topical today as it was in 1974.
I worry that we never learn. We imprisoned Ukranian Canadians in World War I, Japanese Canadians in World War II, innocent Quebecois in the FLQ crisis and we're doing it again to Arabs and Muslims. Don't we ever learn?

Watched it in my film class and *beep* loved it.

Movies on IMDB are not overrated, you're just of the minority that doesn't bloody LIKE THEM!

I don't know much about the real life crisis, but I decided to watch it because I saw this on a list of underrated films and saw that it won best director at Cannes. Such a gripping movie and proves that a low budget and no name actors can still do wonders.
