Look Ahead: Agora

This film isn't scheduled to be released in the U.S. just of yet but hopefully that will change soon! Agora stars Rachel Weisz as a female atheist philosophy professor in Ancient Egypt as the nation turns from its polygamist ways under Roman Christian persecution. Based on the real story of historical figure Hypatia of Alexandria the movie originally premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in 2009 and will be released in Israel, Lebanon, and France in the next few months.
