I saw this in the Sunday Source section of the Post yesterday and am passing along: The Smithsonian is having a free showing of the The Cup (Phorpa) as part of their Return of the Buddha exhibit Thursday, June 24 7 pm Freer Gallery of Art - Smithsonian Institution 12th Street and Jefferson Drive SW Washington, DC For directions: http://www.asia.si.edu/visitor/maps.htm The movie is subtitled but anyone here who camped out in area bars to watch the 2002 World Cup will connect with these young Buddhist monks in their quest to watch the games. VERY funny! *Free TICKETS Free tickets are required for films in the 300 seat Meyer Auditorium, located in the Freer Gallery. Up to two tickets per person are distributed at the auditorium one hour before show time so plan your arrival accordingly.

Thanks, K! I saw that movie in theaters a few years ago and it's excellent. If you love the beautiful game, you will definitely relate to and enjoy this film.
