I expect many (most?) of my coworkers and fellow Vincentians don't know it, but the Society of SVDP was founded because of the poverty and injustice that Victor Hugo wrote about in Les Misérables.
I just posted this on the thrift store's FB, which I manage by default––i.e. no one else wants to (... and I do).
(I don't have a TV and I don't want to pay to stream it, so I won't be watching, but I'm excited to share it with my colleagues.)

On my local PBS station it is now available for public viewing until April 28th. I started watching it but realized that I needed a block of time to do so!

Yes, glad to see it's streaming here too--since I don't have a TV.
ReplyDeleteNot sure I'll actually get around to watching it though!
