Remember Readers Digest back in the day? It had a section called 'Drama in Real Life.'
This comes to mind when I think back about going to see CitizenFour this past Saturday.
Turns out, the drama is in my life. Your life. The life of millions.
Citizenfour Captures Urgent, Nerve-Racking History in Progress
Miami New Times-10 hours ago
Director Laura Poitras' Citizenfour boasts an hour or so of tense, intimate, world-shaking footage you might not quite believe you're watching.
Really. And my wife, kossack jakkalbessie, is in the kitchen telling me to not divulge too much.

On a glorious but chilly Saturday afternoon we took the bus as close as we could get then walked a mile to CCA, Santa Fe's 35 year old theatre.
Snow was up on the Sangre de Cristos, we enjoyed looking at still a few trees with colorful leaves and of course all the signature Santa Fe adobe homes on our way to the CCA.
Was glad to see an ACLU table inside. We have donated to ACLU nationally but we went ahead and joined ACLU NM for, wait for it, the free t-shirts!!!
ACLU magazine "Stand"
We were barely seated when the movie started, and we quickly became spellbound right through to the end.
As we were leaving overheard the ACLU guy being asked where all it was showing, and he said that he understood it was in 70 markets. Here's one link to showings :
