About Me |
|
| I want to beat up big hockey players who cry like babies. I wish my muscles were bigger so I could throw a good punch.
My passion and my job: I show documentary films on human rights (child soldiers, child labor, womens rights, HIV/AIDS) and local social justice issues (racism, homophobia, prison industrial complex, police brutality) to students in NYC public high schools. I bring filmmakers and activists into the classroom to help youth understand how their actions, really do make a huge difference in the world and how it's not enough to hate the way things are - you need to change it, or no one else will.I also work for the Human Rights Watch International Film Festival and Rooftop FilmsSure, I whine about the way the world is.. but I'm also working pretty hard to change it.

Heroes:Marla Ruzicka .. Marla died while aiding civilian victims of the Iraq war. I met her once when she came into the Human Rights Watch office. Her passion and optimism for helping those in need, even in the most dangerous of circumstances touched my life forever. She was beautiful, vibrant and won the hearts of american soldiers, iraqi people, senators and everyone in between.She founded the organization Campaign for Innocent Victims in Conflict - if you ever have a penny to share - donate to them. I gave them a $50 donation this year to help pay for the cost of a child who was injured by an American bomb in Iraq to visit a doctor. I urge you to do the same. |
