Director: Peter Medak
With: George Hamilton, Lauren Hutton
Even though I really like George Hamilton and spoof movies, I struggled to get through this one. Second half much better than the first half. #FilmSky

My boy, a 8 year old white, Afrikaans boy, marched in a Free Palestine march in Cape Town, 30 years after Apartheid. He was given a samosa by a crying elderly Muslim lady. Interacted with Bikers for Palestine. Chanted slogans with his mother. Shared water with the other kids.

On Saturday we marched in Cape Town from the mosque to parliament. There were so many people. The march was well organized. I am thankful to live in a country where my family can walk in a march without fear.
