I saw Syriana for the third time in three days yesturday.
Remember back at the internet identity workshop in October? In the closing circle when everyone was talking about books they recommend, I floated the idea that we might have an identity movies/films to broaden the public dialogue about identity issues and raise social literacy on the issues. So, I think we have found our first film. Syriana. This movie is going to get a lot of play this spring – and will be a strong candidate for several academy awards. There are many differentidentity issues covered in nuanced ways ripe for discussion.
Does anyone want to help me work on a discussion guide? I wonder if anyone has configured a site do this sort of thing? Sort of seems like a good thing for to host on a Drupal site. I am open to volunteers to help. I will put up a page on the iiw wiki.
I am open to suggestions about what the next movie could be – perhaps one in video stores.
