RIP John Hughes, An '80s Icon
Movie director, John Hughes, passed away on Thursday from a heart attack. He wrote and directed such teen classics as "The Breakfast Club" and "Sixteen Candles." He also wrote and produced "Home Alone" which was one of the top grossing comedies of all time.
Hughes is from my hometown of Northbrook, IL and was an alum of my high school, Glenbrook North. My freshman year he filmed "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" at our school and I remember them filming the scene when Matthew Broderick picked up Mia Sara from school while pretending to be her father. It was very cool to watch as a young teenager.
His films were upbeat and fun, and many were the favorites from my youth. Rest in peace, John Hughes.

Call + Response... More Slaves Today Than Ever Before
I recently learned about this documentary, "Call+Response." It's about a topic that is ignored especially relative to the mass scale of the problem of modern day slavery. I first learned about the extent of this horrific issue through International Justice Mission years ago. Check out the site and go see this film! Here is the summary of the film project:
Call+Response is a first of its kind feature documentary film that reveals a terrifying secret: there are more slaves today than ever before in human history. In 2007, slave traders made more money than Google, Nike and Starbucks combined. Call+Response goes deep undercover where slavery is thriving. First hand accounts from luminaries like Cornel West, Julia Ormond, Madeleine Albright, Daryl Hannah, Ashley Judd, and Nicholas Kristof provide the backdrop of for this 21st century nightmare. Grammy-winning and critically acclaimed artists including Moby, Natasha Bedingfield, Cold War Kids, Matisyahu, Imogen Heap, Talib Kweli, Five For Fighting, Switchfoot, members of Nickel Creek, Rocco Deluca, move this information into inspiration offering this century its first abolitionist songs.
CNN's report: A new movie is working to shed light on the international slave trade. CNN's Kareen Wynter reports.

The Story of Stuff
Short film that is insightful and gets you thinking...
The Story of Stuff
From its extraction through sale, use and disposal, all the stuff in our lives affects communities at home and abroad, yet most of this is hidden from view. The Story of Stuff is a 20-minute, fast-paced, fact-filled look at the underside of our production and consumption patterns. The Story of Stuff exposes the connections between a huge number of environmental and social issues, and calls us together to create a more sustainable and just world. It'll teach you something, it'll make you laugh, and it just may change the way you look at all the stuff in your life forever.

It is slated for theatrical release in South Korea on June 26. This film may very well be our movement's "Hotel Rwanda" or "Schindler's List." We are excited to be able to present this film here in the US for special advance screening.
