Alex used to say that he had three favorite types of categories: “Movies, Geography, and Movies About Geography.” But as the saying goes, jokes are usually just “truth wrapped in a smile.”

Alex had a lifelong interest in the world’s people, cultures and languages, and he was the driving force in many of the categories we’re sharing in the next two weeks. “History is the past,” he once said. “Geography is the future.”

Here’s what you’ll see:
