Free Passes to “Catch a Fire”

Filed Monday, October 23, 2006 at 12:00 PM

The first 20 people to email us at editor@pubdef.net will get a pass for two to a special screening of the film “Catch a Fire” Wednesday at the Esquire.

Director Phillip Noyce (”Patriot Games”, “Clear and Present Danger”, “The Quiet American”) has made a powerful and moving film that uses the inspirational story of resistance in 1980s’ South Africa to make the point that is so relevent in today’s America: One man’s terrorist is often another man’s freedom fighter. And sometimes tactics used to fight terrorism actually creates more “terrorists”.

The film features Oscar-worthy performances by Tim Robbins (”Mystic River”) and Derek Luke (”Antwone Fisher”). Here are two PSAs featuring the actors talking about some of the issues in the movie.
