A trailer has been released for the upcoming “Hunger Games” film “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1.”

The movie will be one of two that is an adaptation of the final book in author Suzanne Collins’ trilogy. 

The new trailer mainly focuses on the determination of protagonist Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) to free her friend and sometimes love interest Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) from the clutches of the government. Peeta was captured at the end of the last film. 

“I want everyone who’s watching to lay down their weapons now,” Peeta says via a video communication.

Meanwhile, Katniss tells Plutarch Heavensbee, who was formerly in charge of the Hunger Games (Philip Seymour Hoffman in one of his last roles) and Alma Coin, president of the previously hidden District 13 (Julianne Moore), “You will rescue Peeta at the earliest opportunity, or you will find another Mockingjay.”

“Mockingjay – Part 1” will be released on Nov. 21.

Check out the full trailer.

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
