“Waltz with Bashir” Wins Golden Globe
-------------------------------------



And the film Waltz with Bashir won a Golden Globe last night for Best
foreign film. The animated feature was written and directed by Ari
Folman, who served in the Israeli military during Israel’s 1982 war with
Lebanon. Waltz with Bashir explores the role his unit played in the
massacre of Palestinians at the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps. The big
winner of the Golden Globes was the film Slumdog Millionaire, which won
four awards.
