Remember Remember the Month of November - Movie Nights at Dialogues

The revolution that stirred London in the early 17th Century took the all-famous name of Gunpowder Plot, but several such revolutions by the people of a country formed waves in the socio-political history of several other regions. Cinema has worked as a lens and mirror of society and some of the best views, potrayed through a movie, will be screened this month.
