Movie: "Rocket Post"

Writing about "Starter for 10" below reminded me of another great little British film we saw recently called "Rocket Post". It's a true story about two German rocket scientists posted to the Outer Hebrides (remote islands off the West Coast of Scotland) in the late 1930's who believed that rockets carrying mail could help remote communities stay in touch with the mainland. It's a story about their decision whether to return home to inevitably develop weapons for Hitler's war machine or continue their humanitarian work, despite their nationality. Add beautiful Scottish scenery to the mix and you've got an enjoyable Saturday night movie.
