When the film ends, the discussion begins.
Ready to connect an idea inspired tonight to an assignment this semester?
The books below may be a doorway to interdisciplinary research or a minor to explore. This film draws on many ideas, from borders to brainwashing, from identity to espionage. History, literature, and sovereignty are additional options.
