Meryl and Anna learn a lesson in discrimination and racial profiling when their Grandmother takes them on a journey through a Brothers Grimm-like fairy tale: an allegorical fable from the Grandmother’s past. It is a story of a land far, far away where an evil king has passed a law against those who have black fingernails. Anna and Meryl are transported into their Grandmother’s fairy tale. Back in the living room, visibly moved, the girls ask their Grandmother where she heard such a story. "That’s another story," she replies, as the numbers tattooed on her arm are revealed. Ages 7 and up. (Fonte: Ergo Media)… (meer)
