Movies are a great way to explore the risk we never took. INTO THE WILD opens tonight, Sean Penn shares the story of first reading the book from an interview in Telluride. We also look at THE MOSQUITO COAST (1986, Peter Weir), starring Harrison Ford, and what these films tell us about breaking from civilization and doing the unthinkable. Karina interviews the makers of HEAVY METAL IN BAGHDAD and it becomes clear why she wrote “I don’t care how tired of Iraq documentaries you think you are–you need to see Heavy Metal in Baghdad.”
