Help me get "When I Walk"finished- funding goal is $13,000 by jdasilvax. "...my doctors were telling me that in five years I would be in a wheelchair, possibly without eyesight...
" Please help me get this film finished! I put my story to the screen with my first feature documentary. Left Behind: Life and Death Along the Arizona Border by Jonathan Hollingsworth. 2010 was a year of record deaths for illegal migrants entering theU.S. via Arizona’s Sonoran Desert — 230 in all.
It’s impossible to know how many migrants survive the days-longjourney, led by high-priced guides, with temperatures soaring up to 130 degrees in the summer months. But every year since 2001 no less than 150 mummified and decomposed bodies have been discovered in remote areas of the desert, eventually taken to the Pima County Forensic Science Center in Tucson, AZ which faces the herculean task of analyzing and storing their remains, archiving their possessions — and hopefully — determining their identities.
In the fall of 2011, I traveled to Pima County, where I spent a week photographing the day-to-day operations of the facility, documenting the receiving area, autopsy room, and archive of border crossers’ personal effects. Working in the Medical Examiner's Office Gurneys in Receiving Room The U.S. Freelance International by Zach Carvalho. Freelance International is a branch of Freelance Publishers dedicated to providing international news from the best possible source; the people who have lived and worked in those foreign territories their entire lives.
At Freelance International we are focused on providing a global perspective in the truest form possible. We work directly with writers in foreign territories to acquire information about the most recent happenings in those areas. Many domestic publications who report on international news often miss a large part of the story and misinterpret what is actually going on. Why is this? Simply put, most of these domestic publications will send staff writers who have been raised and taught in America to foreign territories to report on international happenings.
We are working to provide the most straight-forward, honest, legitimate, international news reporting possible. Disembodied Freedom by Roxie Nightengale.

Goals Stable policy awareness Dispel myths about Solar / Renewable sources and capabilities You can make a difference on the local level, it isn't out of our hands Solar Dreams explores the political, economic, and social barriers to the proliferation of solar energy production through the eyes of two young men who believe that the world could be a better place.

The Pay Phone Revival Project by Bridget Quinn. The mission of the Pay Phone Revival project is to restore function and communicative potential to abandoned payphone booths while also creating meaningful interactions between pedestrians and their everyday surroundings in Austin, Tx.
This will be achieved by commissioning innovative artists to transform them, by using them as the epicenter for art/design interventions in the urban landscape. Through an inclusive RFP process ten artist/teams were selected for round two of the Pay Phone Revival Project. The resulting art/design interventions will transform abandoned pay phone booths into dynamic objects that inspire play, create a new function, or tell a story.
