It’s already been nominated for a Best Picture Oscar, and the buzz from those who have seen it grows daily.

This film feels as relevant today as during the years it is about:


Evil comes from a failure to think. It defies thought for as soon as thought tries to engage itself with evil and examine the premises and principles from which it originates, it is frustrated because it finds nothing there. That is the banality of evil.”

~ Hannah Arendt, Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil


We don’t like to be reminded of unpleasant things. We’d rather turn our heads, find something that leaves us feeling better about our world, not worse.

Don’t look away this time.

Pay attention.

Speak up.

And vote as if your life depends on it. As if millions of lives depended on it.

Because it does.
