After Christian Falzon's mentioning of Archbishop Oscar Romero in class, today, some of you asked me to put the film 'Romero' on our blog. Here it is. This is the full movie.
As I told you in class, this is a powerful movie. Its main themes are the fighting for justice and love. I think it's better to view this film with your parents or with a grown up so that s/he will be able to better explain what is happening.
Watching this film should help you to better understand what is like to live in a country run by a dictator and the sacrifice a large number of people are going through. However it should also show you how there are still people working hard for a better world. One of these people was Oscar Romero and a number of priests El Salvador, a small state in Central America.
We are the suffragettes Think you know some fierce girls? You ain't heard nothing yet
A lass called Milli Fawcett founder of our cause, Started the battle for our rights Argued the government to change the laws Here is how she stated our plight How comes girls can't vote for rules That we have to obey? When we work and pay taxes too! Parliament's reaction was "Oh do go away!" How dare they diss the suffrage crew?
Suffragettes sing We're gonna do this thing Peaceful protests started in 1903 Got no reaction, needed drastic action Got a new leader, Emmeline Pankhurst, that's me
Burst into parliament shouting "Votes for women" Actions that were shocking and new Chained ourselves to palace gates Tension was brimming, on the WSPU Burned down churches, smashed up shops, attacked MPs the result we were thrown in jail This made us more determined as you'll come to see Think we'd give up fighting? Hey, fail!
Suffragettes sing together we can win In prison we protested and went on hunger strike Men still said no, but we just said yo! You won't stop us now Miss Davidson please take the mic
We became more extreme, Derby Day, June 13 In front of king and queen Committed sacrifice supreme Crept unseen between the teaming Crowds watching the race And threw myself under a horse to try and make our case Became a famous martyr, how did men react? "We can't give women votes if they're so stupid they'll do that!"
Seemed our cause was lost when world war came along Our suffragette reaction was to wave our protests goodbye, farewell, so long To patriotic action Put down our banners saying give us votes Instead supported the men's fight Want to help them win the war So guess what they said? "Okay ladies, you were right!"
Suffragettes sing We done it ding-ding, At last those men see They should treat us the same So all take note now women can vote And it's thanks to those who fought in the suffragette name.

Dan hu r-rakkont tal-passjoni skont San Gwann - minn sitt ijiem qabel l-Għid saż-żmien li Ġesu' għamel jidher lill-Appostli wara l-qawmien tiegħu mill-mewt. B'differenza tal-maġġoranza tal-filma l-oħra fuq il-ħajja ta' Ġesu', dan il-film juża' l-kliem eżatt mill-evanġelju ta' San Ġwann.

This is a very interesting article on how life in Libyan schools is changing, now that Muammar Ghaddafi and his family does not control Libya any longer.
I have come across this article on bbc.com on how life is changing for people in the Amazon forest. We have mentioned this topic some time ago in class, so I thought it would interest you. What I like about this contribution is that the reporter interviews children and adolescents who are slightly older than you. In fact, the whole article and is built on the views expressed by some of the children who live in a village in the Amazon. You can read the article or view the video, or both. http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldclass/15337710
