Overwhelmingly conservative and religious, the county's 186,000 residents, most of them white, tend to believe what their President tells them. They agree with him that the Iraq war had to be fought and has to be won. "I think we need to be there," Keith says.

This time out, she proves her directorial versatility by offering up a classic tale from Western culture, but tinting it with a distinctly Eastern lens. As the title suggests, the movie is an adaptation of the Jane Austen classic Pride and Prejudice, but instead of taking place in the pastoral setting of 18th century England, the camera takes us through modern-day India, London, Los Angeles, and back again with the fantastical themes of Bollywood following throughout...
