Making sense of two new movies:
"V for Vendetta," a movie based on cult-status graphic novels
focusing on anarchism, opens Friday, Mar. 17. Labour historian Mark
Leier, author of a soon-to-be-published biography of Michael Bakunin,
the so-called father of the anarchist movement, can explain this
important political philosophy and explain its relevance and
importance to the modern world.

The recently released "Failure to Launch," starring Matthew
McConaughey as a 35-year-old who still lives at home, focuses on the
issue of "boomerang children" who continue to live with their parents
well into adulthood. Sociologist Barbara Mitchell, author of the
recently published The Boomerang Age: Transitions to Adulthood in
Families, can speak in detail on this trend in North America.
