REEL DEAL Movies and Television: Cowboys and Aliens

The most unusual conflict that could happen to two different beings. A battle of technology, alliance, and bravery, Cowboys and Aliens don't mix but they make a pretty interesting story. Set in 1873 in the Arizona Territory, a stranger with no memory of his past stumbles into the hard desert town of Absolution. The only hint to his history is a mysterious shackle that encircles one wrist.

Breastfeeding is directly linked to reducing the death toll of children under five, yet only 36 per cent of infants under six months old in developing countries are exclusively breastfed.
