INVISIBLE CHILDREN

So we have a group of inexperienced filmmakers, from a typical spoiled American background who decide to go to Africa to document on the war that has been going on there for the past two decades. The result is an amateur documentary that goes from just plain silly to an incredibly moving report on the condition of the children whose lives have been destroyed by the ravages of this insane war. You can see it in its entirety on Google Video:

And do something by going to:

World on Fire

I have been away for a long time. It's not because I haven't had things going on, actually, I have had too many things going on to post. But back once again. Things that really caught my attention recently:
The Amazing march of the millions of immigrants all over the USA for legalization Rights:

Jan 16, 2006: The first woman president takes office in Liberia, Africa
Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf, a graduate of Harvard University who worked as a waitress here in the US to pay for her education becomes the example that the world needs to follow. How a low income self educated african woman can overcome obstacles and become a leader in women's rights in a continent with the highest rape and violence towards women and children in the world. Her first action: making rape illegal in a country that saw it simply as " men misbehaving".

And in an act that should be followed by many other artists in the world, Sarah McLachlan creates a video with $15 and distributes the rest of the estimated cost of it to charities around the world.
