The other evening, I went out and saw an early release of The Hunting Party, the movie based on the Scott K. Anderson's 2000 Esquire article, "What I Did On My Summer Vacation." Though there weren't many people in the theater, it seemed that everyone, including myself, had a great time and while walking out of the theater, conversations on the implications of the subject were immediately started. I had problems with the fictionalized "this is what should've happened" vigilante ending, but overall, the movie was really delightful, suspenseful, funny, and thought provoking all at once. Prior to this, I never truly considered the idea of bureaucracy in hunting for war criminals, but this movie put a new perspective on global politics for me.
In honor of the movie and how much fun I had:
