And, Killing Fields.
An essential anti - war trio to be shown to all 5th and 6th formers.
Life and War ... It's not "Call of Duty" on XBOX or PS4...
It's terribly real ...

That is of course Guardian clickbait. There were around 1,000 Indian troops at Dunkirk but that is not many in the context of the 300,000 who were evacuated let alone the several tens of thousands who were killed or taken prisoner.
Plus of course a significant proportion of those who were evacuated were French but opted to be repatriated to France rather than join the Free French forces.
You could say that there is a film to be made about Indian troops at Dunkirk or those who served in other theatres of WW2 but saying a film about an event which mainly concerned white people is not representative because a small minority of Indian troops are not mentioned is the Guardian at its most typical.

Abso-blooming-marvelous.
We've got Happy Feet 2 to watch as well as I bought the boxed set in Plymouth yesterday. £3 well spent.

We can't recommend this film highly enough.

They are in the multiplex near me. Films are different lengths the gap is long enough to clean the place (well, obviously it isn't but that's another issue).
I usually buy the tickets online anyway. Who can be bothered queuing?
