It is the last day of school before the much loved Spring Break, and as usual everyone is ready for a some time off. We are watching Born Free, the 1966 movie about a lion, filmed on location in Kenya. The kids watch it, without talking or sleeping. Who would think that 15 year old inner-city kids would like a 40 year old movie, but they do. I think they like it because of the live animals, and the story moves along pretty well. It's a compelling look at why we have wildlife, and national parks, and what it means to be free.
I have seen it many, many times over the years, but it hasn't gotten old yet.
