So much hate is based on people being told to hate. And it needs constant reinforcement. It's one of the reasons I'm not keen on any of the Abrahamic religions.

The film sounds great. I just recommended this substack to a friend but I warned him that you like depressing documentaries. Not that this one sounds that bad. After all, it does have an overall happy ending. But I'm sure I would be thinking of all the people who didn't make it. Maybe I'll stick with Flash Gordon for now!

Thanks for the friend rec! And thanks you didn't portray it as a fun site -- it is a lot of depressing documentaries. Oh, well. And also cheesy De Laurentiis movies.

Thanks for correcting my spelling; I did it as "de" instead of "De." Mistake! Now fixed!

What a f***ing grim title "Flee" is. It's so horrible. But I can't think of a better one. It fits the movie. Nobody leaves their homeplace for nifty better retirement benefits. They leave because they have to flee.

I didn't notice the spelling. I just copied it from my APE article! Anyway, most of my friends tend toward the depressing, so...
