Women philosophers: Hypatia of Alexandria

---

Official Agora Trailer English HD

I saw this movie on the weekend.  It was engaging and inspiring.  It was entertaining yet disturbing. Of course, the producers and writers used some creative license to weave the main plot and main characters together while maintaining the message of a woman who symbolized learning and science, caught in the middle of religious tensions.
