| | CNS - The Duma Ratifies the Moscow Treaty |
| | On May 14, 2003 the State Duma, the lower house of the Federal Assembly (the Russian parliament), ratified the Strategic Offensive Reductions Treaty (also known as SORT or the Moscow Treaty) by 294 votes against 134 with 22 abstaining. | | | Ratification of the Moscow Treaty by the Duma was widely expected and, in a sense, inevitable given the high interest of the government, including and especially President Putin, in that treaty. | | | The package of documents approved by the Duma centered on the state and the future of Russia's strategic arsenal instead of the treaty itself. |

| | "Duma" (2005) / a review and/or comments from Christian Spotlight on the Movies |
| | This is not meant to suggest that "Duma" is boring or predictable. | | | Duma quickly becomes a "hero's journey" film, constantly showing Xan fighting overwhelming physical odds to accomplish the stated will of his father. | | | The story begins with a young man named Xan (Alexander Michaletos), growing up on his family's farm in South Africa after he and his father take in a new pet — an orphaned cheetah whom they dub Duma. |

| | Reviews: Duma - Christianity Today Movies |
| | The film reunites Campbell Scott and Hope Davis (The Impostors, The Secret Lives of Dentists) as the parents of the boy who takes the cheetah home. | | | The plot is simple: Duma is the story of a boy and his adopted cheetah, whom he names Duma (Swahili for "cheetah"). | | | Farther along in his journey, Xan meets Ripkuna (Eamonn Walker), a schemer and dreamer who deserted his family and tribe for fortune in the city. |

| | "Duma's got to live the life he was born to," the dad explains. | | | The story told in "Duma" is simple only on the surface: One night a young white South African boy named Xan (Alex Michaletos) is driving down a dark ribbon of road with his dad (Campbell Scott) when he spots an orphaned cheetah cub wobbling toward the danger of oncoming traffic. | | | Those words are the beginning of a serious adventure for Xan and Duma, one involving loss and grief, but also one that proves to Xan he has the resources to deal with whatever comes his way -- they're in his bones, in his blood. |

| | SoundtrackNet : Duma |
| | Like Passion of the Christ, gone are his recognizable complex orchestrations and sweeping themes. | | | His score for Zathura harkens back to his "seaQuest" and Cutthroat Island style, and with Duma, a film about a boy befriending an orphaned cheetah in Africa in the vein of Two Brothers, he returns to the ethnically charged feel he developed for Passion of the Christ. | | | It is very nice to see John Debney breaking away from his typical comedy genre. |

| | Duma movies : ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY |
| | Years after his two great close encounters with the natural world, The Black Stallion (1979) and Never Cry Wolf (1983), director Carroll Ballard still works in his ravishing, nearly pointillistic style of organic visual splendor. | | | Yawning apes, a sun-blasted jungle vista, an attack by crocodiles: In Duma, adapted from the popular children's book How It Was With Dooms, images like these appear just as splendid and strange as they should. | | | Ballard connects you to the beauteous inner calm of the wild, even if audiences today are looking for a lot less calm. |
