Did anyone watch this Irish movie, "LOLA"? Might be a bit hard to find in your local cinema, but well, it's AH... Interesting concept for a movie, like Frequency where a son speaks with his dad over ham radio and over the course of the movie changes hisitry. |

Might have to get explored in a TL.. It might be interested, but i doubt if a person who listen in 1940 to a radio that is from 1941 to 1945 period will hear any secrets as of course there is the question of censorship. |

Agree though said person might get to listen in on military radio by accident and it might lead to the most unexpected. Its fiction of course but so are we writing and discussing around here!
Though how about early TV - during 1930's - capturing documentaries of WWII/Korea/what and which ever. |

Interesting idea and if I notice it turning up on TV will try and give it a view. If I read the wiki description correctly it sounds a bit like their picking up a radio programme from the future which has fictional events in what happens and somehow they make that ATL come into existence? Or at least push things into that direction.

Ouch that is a nasty outcome. One of the problems of trying to change the TL. Thanks for the additional details.
I will note that I don't think German attacks during the blitz ever numbered thousands of a/c, especially for a relatively minor target and even if they had it would have been pretty much impossible to intercept and kill that many. Plus if it did then likely that would cripple the Luftwaffe for an extended period of time because of both a/c and aircrew losses.

A review of a rather unique 2010 Ugandan film entitled 'Who Killed Captain Alex?' en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Who_Killed_Captain_Alex%3FCertainly not everyone's cup of tea, but quite the achievement to make a film for $85 in the Third World in the face of great difficulty. |

Sometimes they are better to watch then certain Hollywood movies with a lot of budget bigger than certian African countries. |

The fellow doing the review makes that point partway through. It is definitely amateur low quality stuff, but it is invested with an enormous amount of passion and charm.

Absolutely. It isn't a well made picture, but funny, full of heart and overflowing with both enthusiasm and love of the art form. The director, prior to being flown over to North America after the time that video review was made, had never even been in a cinema.

I’m watching the charge of the light brigade 1968 version I wonder how accurate the film is because they are ridiculous aristocrats fighting over a bottle of bear at a officers table. The animation is something else combined with live action
