TA:MOU = Themed Anniversary: Moving On Up

The Rules

Each Tuesday a theme will be decided based on the Anniversary of some significant event. All you have to do is trawl your reviews for any that relate to that event and post them here with a link.

You can post as many as you wish, so long as either the film or your review clearly relates to the theme. You can only post during the week of the current TA:MOU.

You don't have to say you voted unless you really want to - but you are expected to visit all the links posted.

ON THIS DAY: 14 May
Today TA:MOU attacks kids and starts a war

> in 1889 London saw the launch of The National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. Your terrible TA:MOU task is to present fwfrs for films that focus on child abuse.
Check out this link to hear Patrick Stewart's disturbing revelations.

> in 1948, after its long-awaited declaration of independence was announced, Israel was attacked by its surrounding Arab states, thus triggering the Arab-Israeli war. So, without ourselves taking sides, please present your fwfrs for any film set in or about the state of Israel.

The Birthday Party

Your fwfrs please for the films of any one of these.
