When he falls ill on his way home from school, 15 year-old Michael Berg is
rescued by Hanna, a woman twice his age. The two begin an unexpected
and passionate affair only for Hanna to suddenly and inexplicably
disappear. Eight years later, Michael , now a young law student
observing Nazi war trials, meets his former lover again, under very
different circumstances. Hanna is on trial for a hideous crime, and as
she refuses to defend herself, Michael gradually realizes his boyhood
love may be guarding a secret she considers to be more shameful than
murder.

Michael Moore's 'Sicko' on T.V. Tonight
Thursday, July 16th, 2009
The Movie Channel, this evening, will be airing the Oscar-nominated
documentary, "Sicko," Michael Moore's film about a villain known as the
health insurance industry. With the debate raging in Washington, D.C. --
Republicans trying to scuttle it, the President trying to hang on to his
public option, and nearly a hundred members of Congress pushing for a
single-payer system -- showing "Sicko" tonight is very timely. Mike lays out ll the facts and the arguments as to why the private insurance companies are never going to side with what's best for the American people.
"Sicko" airs on The Movie Channel tonight at 8:00 PM. It's also scheduled to air on The Movie Channel on July 27th at 4:05 PM and on TMC Xtra on August and at 10:45 PM and August 5th at 2:15 AM and 7:30 AM. Click
