This was the movie that I watched with my roommate, Ate R., while eating dinner. It's with Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts and it's based on a true story of Congressman Charlie Wilson and his huge contribution about the Cold War between US and Russia. A lot of Afghans were suffering from the war. Charlie Wilson personally visited the refugee camp and he saw terrible things (children without limbs due to bombing, people fighting to get relief goods from the government,etc.) and right after his visit, he decided to do his best to get the funds needed so Afghans can get the high technology weapons needed to defeat the Russians. It was really a great movie and I liked it coz it's also informative. You can read more about the movie from here.More movies to go since I have a lot of dvd's here that I borrowed from the owner of my boarding house.
