I don't think you can lock the player you get from using a UIWebView to landscape like that. I suggest you subclass MPMoviePlayerViewController and implement shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation: like you have in your class you've shown to only support landscape orientation. Then use that to play your video.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
