Movie Monday 6/17/2019

Period. End of Sentence won the Oscar for Best Documentary Short. It's a 26 minute film that packs a big punch. A group of women in India learned how to run a machine to make low-cost, biodegradable sanitary napkins. They are trying to increase access to products, improve feminine hygiene, destigmatize menstruation and empower women. I say, "You go, Girls!"

Lordy, has it really been a month? 

The Glass Forest by Cynthia Swanson

This gripping story is about a guy and his young wife who rush to help his niece. She has called to inform them that her father had committed suicide and her mother is missing. It was good.

One Plus One by Jojo Moyes 

A broke, single mother of two tries to figure out how to pay for her math prodigy daughter's tuition at a posh, private school. Along comes an in-legal-trouble, tech millionaire who offers to help. It was cute.

The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah
Two sisters in German-occupied France are separated by circumstances. This story follows their complicated paths to survival. I like it.

Join us next time, maybe before the end of the year...
