DVD RELEASES: May 18th

 Good afternoon TRR readers,

I had an amazing week. I have covered three days of the G.I. Film Festival. The event features movies that creates a positive light to the men and women who served our Armed Forces. The thirty-five films featured in this year’s festival covered all military conflicts ranging from courage to the ultimate sacrifice to the everyday struggles of PTSD and homelessness at the homefront. I am currently putting the finishing touches to my story. Be sure to look for it within the next few days. Later this week, I will interviewing director Lonnie  Martin from his upcoming DVD Women’s Studies. Now, it’s DVD picking time! This week’s movies include powerful performances of Woody Harrelson, Harrison Ford, Matt Damon, and Morgan Freeman.

MOVIES OF THE WEEK

MOVIE REVUE: The Unconquering Spirit of Invictus

 

A day that will live in history in South Africa occured on February 11, 1990 . It was the day that South African Nelson Mandela was finally released after serving 27 years in prison. Three years later, Mandela became a candidate, on behalf of the African National Congress, to run for South Africa’s first black president. 1994 marked the very first time that black South Africans were able to cast their vote in a presidential election. The voices have spoken and Nelson Mandela won the presidential race successfully.
