HONORING HOME
HONORING HOME
I am currently co-producing/directing a documentary about Burmese Freedom Fighter, Han Lin, and the story of his homeland. I am inspired by the hunger strikes, long marches from NYC TO DC, and other acts of opposition that the Burmese community have done internationallly to raise awarness about Burma. The human rights violations that occure everyday in Burma are unjust and cross the line of my tollerence. 3000 villages have been burned to the ground, the military uses rape as a weapon, and the military attacks their own people...
This documentary is to honor those who have been dislocated from their home.
Please contact me via email if you would like to help with this project. We are looking for passionate people who care enough for our international community.
-Fundraising is needed
-Extra crew for shoots in dc, nyc, ithaca, ny, thailand, fortwayne indiana, and possibly burma.
-business smart people appreciated
-hipsters appreciated
-kind people appreciated
-but most of all student leaders are needed asap to get this grassroots project off the gound and out to local, national, international media.
Thank you very much!

FRIDAY: National Day of Student Action for Burma
The U.S. Campaign for Burma is organizing a day of action for this Friday. Here's the description:
We are asking every student in the country to organize their campus this Friday, October 5th in support of the people of Burma!
Wear a red shirt, organize speakers, booths with information, concerts- whatever you want this Friday to show support for the half a million peaceful protesters in Burma (Myanmar), a country in Southeast Asia ruled by a ruthless military regime. Burma’s monks, who wear red and maroon colored robes, have led the protests this past week.
Humanity
So let’s imagine the apocalypse. Let’s assume that global warming – to put a contemporary (and highly probable) spin on it – has become irreversible. The climate is fated to change and change and change until the earth winds up, as Stephen Hawking put it, much like Venus— 250 degrees Celsius and raining sulphuric acid. We are doomed from this moment on. It’s a prospect that’s extraordinarily frightening. To face death is one thing. It is a personal struggle, but able to be handled because (and I am speaking for myself here, but I feel that it’s true with most) we have the knowledge that life will go on without us. We may die, but others are born and others live, and then they die, and more still are born, and so on. But death in the face of apocalypse?
