"Bladk Tulip" Movie and Book
None of us here in the U. S. really know how some people live in other countries... Their customs and every day lives...
This movie tells how life really is in some Eastern Countries and how women are treated and girls in general... It opened my eyes.... "Black Tulip" is a wonderful movie to watch and one must read the book also...
After seeing the movie I ordered the book from Amazon ,
To bad everyone can't read the book or see the movie..
