Politics at the Movies - Bridge of Spies
25th November 2015
Tom Hanks and Mark Rylance star in the newly-released Cold War film Bridge of Spies - this looks like a super film to take students to, especially if they are studying the Ideologies option at A2, but also for students taking the A2 US Politics option for some historical context. You can see the official trailer and a Newsnight interview with Steven Spielberg (the Director) below.
