The November Man: a film related to the conflict in the Balkans.

Antonio de los Santos' contribution

This film is not a great one, although it is worth seeing because of its complexity mixed genres which shows us how war criminals are not punished in due time, even they can damage human beings. In addition, this film tries to comfort our souls by punishing the vile criminal who had raped an innocent girl to assure us that there is justice after long years of ominous crimes in previously known as Yugoslavia.

Noelia's contribution

I've been reading The Little Red Chairs, concretely, the first chapter, where the author mentions some myths, legends and historical events. I needed to know more about Pooka and the Ballyseedy massacre, and this is what I've found.
