Ages ago, Ch4 Fri Movie Nights were sponsored by Stella Artois who ran brilliant 'film location' theme nights.
Saw The Shawshank Redemption in Crumlin Courthouse after a site tour & a few Stella. Shame on us to lose.
Also seen The Truman Show at Havelock House 😞

I've read and highly recommend the first one.
Second is on my wishlist.
My son is finishing up training as a Solicitor next year. After spending a lifetime in IT, thanks for helping me in being able to hold a conversation with him.

Suggest you read, if you haven't already, Caroline Elkins' book - Legacy of Violence: A History of the British Empire.
Not a recent thing to ignore human rights - pretty consistent.

I'm Irish and had no knowledge of this shameful episode. A Japanese American friend asked me to read John Okada's 'No-No Boy' to get an understanding of history-through-lived-experience. Highly recommend. Why were Italian & German Americans not treated similarly? I think we know.
