FILMS
I’m only putting one film on the table for this Chat, which is
“There Will be Blood”, by Paul Thomas Anderson, 2007
And last but certainly not least, a long presentation called “Discuss the relationship between religion and government in the USA” (Lumen Boundless Sociology, ND)…..so, leaving you
With all this food for thought, I am eager to see how it has become food for talk,
On the ninth of June.
Looking forward to seeing you again,
Amitiés démocrates,
Trudy Bolter
