    Not to be missed!
    Even though documentary films are not my favorite kind, I must say that "A tale of two isles" is surprisingly interesting, exciting, even moving at certain points. It is not just the story about an electric car made in Greece (at a time that no one else was making electric cars); Much more than this, it is about an honest effort by a certain group of people who believed and tried hard to design and build this car, at a time and with means which did not favor such initiatives. Moreover, the structure of "A tale of two isles" is similar to a fiction movie's structure, with numerous reversals and a catching plot. The director has made a thorough research in his attempt to track down the history of the Enfield 8000, avoiding the "easy" answers, and at the same time traveling in time and in history and paying respect to all aspects. As a teacher, I am definitely going to bring the film in my classroom. Among other things, it proves how strong will, hard work, good cooperation and belief in something can create wonderful things, against all odds. And I believe these are the lessons that first of all students need to take.
