Period 4 Student Choice Film: "Three Kings"

Hi Period 4

Here is a short plot description from the film "Three Kings":

In the days immediately after the Gulf War, a group of American soldiers come across a secret Iraqi map, which discloses the whereabouts of a bunker where Iraq is storing stolen gold and treasure from Kuwait. The soldiers hope to take the gold and keep it for themselves. However, when they arrive at the site, they discover that the Iraqi army is more concerned about persecuting its civilians than stopping them from stealing the gold. They learn that the civilians have been encouraged by the U.S. government to rise up and fight Sadaam Hussein, but are facing certain execution because the U.S. military refuses to help them. This incident creates a crisis of conscience for the American soldiers. Do they take the money and run, leaving the civilians to face certain death at the hands of the Iraqi army? Or do they risk losing the gold in order to escort them to safety across the border into Iran?

It's time for our class to pick a film we'd like to see.

For the next day or so I'll be accepting student-nominated selections and, afterwards, we'll vote on which film the class will see.

1) The film's title, director, and year it was released (check IMDB.com for this info)

2) 2-3 sentences why you think viewing the film would be a valuable experience. What should the class gain from seeing your film?

Also,

• The film you're nominating should be no longer than 2 hours (less than this would be even better!) and its content should be appropriate for our class.
• No more than 1 nomination per person.
