Seeing the film, “Tangerines,” and coming across a monument in Washington, D.C. to a poet, writer, and artist from Ukraine, Taras Schevchenko–all on the same day–inevitably leaves one thinking about wars, conflict, and so much that actually goes unseen–and (therefore?) unthought–most days. Both the movie and the monument are well-worth seeing.
