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: 4 June
TA:MOU pays tribute to fwfr's own Cheese_Ed, women's rights, and the WWII Holocaust. Please choose a theme and post up your relevant fwfrs.
PS - IF ANYONE HASN'T ALREADY VOTED ON DEMONIC'S LAST LIST - PLEASE DO SO.
> in 1411 King Charles VI of France granted a monopoly for the ripening of Roquefort cheese to the people of Roquefort-sur-Soulzon, formalizing their centuries old artisanship. As a tribute to our very own Cheese_Ed, pick from a menu of food related films for your fwfrs. Cheese would be good - though not essential! Well, I mean, cheese IS essential, of course, but not in this particular game. Game is good, too. Oh, you know what I mean!! 
> at the 1913 Epsom Derby, suffragette Emily Davison deliberately ran into the path of and was trampled by King George V's horse, Anmer. She died a few days later.
Coincidentally, six years later to the very day, the US Congress approved the 19th amendment to the constitution which guaranteed suffrage to women.
To mark these historic events of women's rights, let's see your fwfrs for films featuring women of whatever nation who championed their civil and/or human rights, whether successfully or not.
> in 1939 with the US still determined to avoid getting involved in what some termed "Europe's war," the state of Florida denied landing rights to the MS St Louis, a ship carrying nearly 1000 Jewish refugees fleeing the Nazis. The ship had already been turned away by the government of Cuba, which at the time, was strongly allied to the US. The ship was forced to return to Europe, where 200 of its passengers perished in concentration camps.
So, fwfrs, please, for films documenting pleas for asylum, successful or not.
