"Tigist"


Nearly 67000 women - almost entirely poor women from developing countries - die every year from unsafe abortion, devastating the children, families and communities for whom they are caretakers. Millions more are injured. These women - daughters, sisters, wives and mothers - are the core of their families and communities. "Tigist" is the story of one Ethiopian girl who could have become one of those statistics. The film follows one 17-year old girl's journey to access a safe abortion in a country that holds one of the highest rates of maternal deaths due to unsafe abortions. Luckily there is hope. Access to safe abortion care can prevent millions of pregnancy-related deaths. In Ethiopia, a recent change in legislation gave Tigist the opportunity to receive a safe abortion. But is the law enough? Watch the film and learn more by visiting www.NotYetRain.org.

The Innocents (1961) - GREATEST FILMS


In Victorian England, the uncle of orphaned niece Flora and nephew Miles hires Miss Giddens as governess to raise the children at his estate with total independence and authority. Soon after her arrival, Miss Giddens comes to believe that the spirits of the former governess Miss Jessel and valet Peter Quint are possessing the children. Miss Giddens decides to help the children to face and exorcise the spirits. Written by Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil In late 19th century England, a woman (Kerr) becomes governess of a small orphan girl living in a lonely stately home occupied only by the child, a housekeeper and a small complement of servants. Her initial misgivings allayed by the child's angelic nature, her anxieties are once more aroused when the girl's brother, equally captivating, is sent home from boarding school for wickedness of some unspecified kind. Eeerie apparitions and inexplicable behavior on the children's part cause her to wonder about the house's history, especially about the fate of the previous governess, Miss Jessel and the former valet, Peter Quint. She fears for the children's souls and for her own sanity. Eventually convinced that there is an unnatural force at work, perverting the innocence of her charges, she sets out to secure the children's salvation by wresting them from its power. Though her struggle reaches a resolution, its real nature and its outcome ultimately remain ambiguous.

LIBERIA??? Check!


What if the whole world had a say in the 2008 US Presidential Elections? What would Africans say? What would LIBERIANS say? This is a film I did after a young man in Liberia asked me, "Since the outcome of the elections has such an impact on the rest of the world, shouldn't we all get a say in the vote?" Thanks to Sol Guy, Pete Miser, Lovisa Inserra, Ruthie Ackerman, PJ. If you want to read an article about it published on Youth Media Reporter, click here: www.youthmediareporter.org
