The Hunger Games

This past weekend I went to see "The Hunger Games," a movie based on the hit book series of the same name by Suzanne Collins.  I was impressed by its ability to stay fairly true to the book. 

It's a dark story; children die for sport to manipulate a country's moral and ethical structure.  To go further into this, though, I think I'll let Fr. Barron say some words.  Thanks to a brother seminarian for sharing this clip. 

Be warned: it has some spoilers, but Fr.'s thought's on how Christian ethics continue to shape our world and the consequences if those ethics are lost are truly helpful insights into this movie.
