"During my student days I read Henry David Thoreau’s essay On Civil Disobedience for the first time. Here, in this courageous New Englander’s refusal to pay his taxes and his choice of jail rather than support a war that would spread slavery’s territory into Mexico, I made my first contact with the theory of nonviolent resistance. Fascinated by the idea of refusing to cooperate with an evil system, I was so deeply moved that I reread the work several times."

Director Ridley Scott's classic 1991 road trip movie starring Geena David and Susan Sarandon (with Brad Pitt and Harvey Keitel also having a part), in which the two friends Thelma (Davis) and Louise (Sarandon) go on a road trip that takes a turn for the worse when Louise shoots and kills a man attempting to rape Thelma.

Finding themselves on the run, they try to make their way to Mexico, culminating in perhaps one of the most famous final shots in movie history.

"A lush formal return to the 1970’s Mexico City of Cuaron’s youth and life with his maids. I can’t get First-time actor Yalitza Aparicio’s wide open face out of my mind – she is the film for me. The father, and then the mother parking the Ford Galaxy is beautiful, frustrated and funny. But it is the scene on the beach with the near drowning that brings us to where Cuaron was headed all along. The family protecting itself. A wonderful world of women."
