Hilary Rhoda starring as Andy Sachs in The Devil Wears Prada
Andy Sachs wants to work in the publishing industry and one day she's lucky to be in the right place at the right time. This means that she lands the job of assistant of the editor-in-chief of the largest fashion magazine in the world - a job which "a million girls would kill for".

According to the Old Testament, early in humanity, there was a united endeavor to build a tower that would reach into heaven - this was the Tower of Babel. The tower angered God, who destroyed it, dispersed those involved throughout the planet, and further disconnected humanity by creating the various languages we speak.
Even though humanity is now more connected than ever, the disconnect is still tangible and in so many ways the gulf has widened. These themes are explored in Babel. Inguna, as Susan, is at the center of the story. Having just lost her child, she vacations with her husband in Morocco to escape despair. There, she is accidentally shot which begins a chain of events that span the globe.

There are some incredible entries here! I love the challenge, and everyone has certainly risen to the occasion. I'll be posting mine today, I'm so glad I have a chance to enter!
