The Girl in the Cafe

We just rented this movie, which is an unusual mix of romantic comedy, against a backdrop of a G8 summit and the Millenium Development Goals. I recently pointed out an interesting set of podcasts, in which Bono summarized the current state of the fight against extreme poverty. Some celebrities and filmakers have really embraced this issue, and this movie is an excellent example of that.
Go rent it from your local video store, or give it to someone for the Holidays. As always, there's Netflix.

UPDATE: Speaking of celebrity activists, the NYTimes Magazine has a related article this morning.
