Has anyone else seen the documentary "Paper Clips"?
Everyone should. It's about a middle school in rural Tennessee, that did a project to learn more about the Holocaust. As part of the project, they collected paper clips to symbolize each person who died. It's an amazing movie about love, compassion, tolerance and discovery. I just finished watching it and it brought me to tears but also gave me hope. Please rent it if you can.

1. HBO has it this month
Get a box of tissues. What an incredible movie, just incredible. I watched it Thursday night I think and just cried all the way through it. And yes, hope. Just an amazing story.

Put paper in the search box to find show times.

3. Thanks for posting HBO show times.
I don't have HBO so I rented it through Netflix. This movie touched me more than any movie I've seen in a very long time. It was just beautiful.

4. It really is
I emailed my daughter the link too because I told her she had to see it. And my sister in Little Rock too, I'm hoping she'll decide to just drive up there after she sees the program.

They also have a school DVD and curriculum, I'm going to get a hold of our history teachers. Maybe after my daughter sees it she will want to, it would impress them more coming from her most likely. I think it would be a great teaching tool on diversity and student involvement, as well as the Holocaust.
