One Life for Every Lie ... Lays Bare Child Prostitution and Child Trafficking

After 8 years managing fitness centers, 15 years teaching middle school English and Gifted Studies, 15 years as a small business co-founder and co-owner in the telecommunications industry, and at age 52, I've decided to focus attention, effort, and time on research, analysis, and showcasing of global problems that people want to pretend are not real. "One Life for Every Lie" is an independent film that is my latest discovery that needs help and attention. It does not have the backing of MGM, Disney, Pixar, or other well-known movie companies. It lays bare an issue that people do not want to talk about that is bigger than drug trafficking and oil wars: kidnapping, child prostitution, sex trafficking, and illegal organ trafficking.

When people stop ignoring the reality of this global underworld evil and start confronting it to stop it, the future will be brighter, much brighter and promising for our world's children especially.

Comment by Graceland: "It has always been a matter of policy within Graceland never to use our wallets when we can use our brains. However, with the project all but finished, there is a number of costs that - while we have worked hard to minimize - we are ultimately unable to differ. Fundraising through this community-modeled online campaign will go towards finalizing Graceland's color and sound mix and creating the costly deliverables - such as DCP transfers - necessary to bring the project to festivals and the public more broadly.

The project has been fortunate to benefit from the contributions of a many talented artists and technicians along the way, who have worked tirelessly to make Graceland a reality.

We thank you for your support and encouragement as we work to bring this crucial project to a broader community."

Using Video to Share Expertise and Review on Filipino Social Network PinoyKubo

My daily car trips around town now are much more interesting  because satellite radio and a particular station Book Radio. I get bits and pieces of books, interviews, debates, and stories. My favorites are the Twilight Zone and Harry Miles episodes, but I also am introduced for the first time to the series by Kathryn Stockett The Help. The characters are good at different things and have points of views that are definite conversation builders. While listening, I keep thinking about how everyone is so good at unique and different tasks, has opinions and reactions I want to hear, read and know about especially in regards to The Filipino experience in 2011 around the world.

I convinced this young man to do exactly that but in particular about his experience so far with the PinoyKubo social network. He likes the fact he can see anyone anywhere in the world via PinoyKubo video over Internet and talk with them and show them how to do different things.
