30: When Your Moral Code Fails (NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN)

Do you think it's getting harder to do good deeds in our modern society? Is the world getting worse, or has it always been this bad? In the last part to our 'Lost Justice' series, we analyze the Coen Brothers' thought-provoking film No Country For Old Men. We wrestle with this challenging commentary about the nature of arbitrary violence in our chaotic world, while contending with the struggle to be a Good Samaritan nowadays. Joining our conversation is acclaimed television screenwriter Kyle Arrington.

The most pleasant thing about the movie is the lovely smile on Loretta Bell's face (the sheriffs wife played by Tess Harper) - she is the only person completely untouched and unaffected by all evil in the movie.
