Big TOE: "We live in the world to which we are awakened, and to the world to which we
are not awakened we are asleep. We are asleep to that part of life which we
do not know. What is the sign that one is ready to awaken from sleep? It is
when a person begins to think, 'All that I have learned and understood seems
so unreal; there are some realities of which I am vaguely aware, and yet
compared with them all I have studied and done seems to be of no account.'

In the footsteps of Alexander the Great : "Alexander was just 20 when he became king of Macedonia, and only 22 when he set out to conquer the world. And by the time he died suddenly and suspiciously at a banquet in Babylon just ten years later, he ruled an empire that included Persia and Egypt and stretched to the borders of India. "

NGA - Film Series: Mexican Cinema: "Herod's Law (La ley de Herodes)
June 13 at 4:00 p.m.
A deceitful political boss (Pedro Armendariz Jr., son of the classic Mexican actor) appoints Juan Vargas, a laborer, to be the mayor of a backwater town whose previous mayor had been killed by an angry mob. When Juan and his wife arrive in this dusty village, they discover not only that most of the local Indian population lacks any knowledge of Spanish, but also that the only successful business in town is a brothel. Juan's odyssey into deeper corruption was widely viewed as an attack on Mexico's ruling party at the time, and a major triumph despite government attempts to disrupt its release (Luis Estrada, 1999, 120 minutes).
