Child Soldiers from Justin McWilliams on Vimeo.

This film is a touching and disturbing view on the reality of child soldiers. Child soldiers can get no education because they are stolen and are forced to do things that they have no control of because if they don't do them then they'll get shot. Militia is the name of the army that takes children and turns them into soldiers. If they don't agree to join then they still get shot and they will ask their brothers or sisters if they are ready to join and if they want to live, they have no choice. It's a thing of survival. Once they join, they are drugged and given alcohol so that they don't know or remember what they had done when killing others. They are also brain washed to believe that what they are doing is right.

This video is also a door to us, the people because this video offers a donation plan to help these children by an organization called the Invisible Children. Emmanual Jal is a good example to helping the child soldiers because he himself was a child soldier and wants to stop this force on children to be soldiers by spreading the word to people through his music. The age in joining the military is 18 and up. Therefore, child soldiers are illegal.

THE WALL OF DEATH from benedict campbell on Vimeo.

This film is about a family that all works together and entertains the people who they perform for with their wall that they build and their motorcycles that they ride on the wall with. Hence the name "Wall of Death."

I like this film a lot because it reminds me of my family and how we all work together to take care of one another and we don't look down on women in our family and they work just as hard as the men. The same way they love and work together is cool and I wish a lot more families were like that.

RICO from Jeremy Snell on Vimeo.

This is a film about a man who refuses to go home although his family wants him to come home and be safe. He's lost his home and when he did, he had started living on the streets and he thought it'd be easy but it was very hard and he must've gone through many hardships. He's tired of fighting and he also tells us how he realizes that as you grow older, your mind expands and you become much wiser in the world and how you can handle it.

I found this film very because I know that there are poor people out there that aren't poor because their stupid but because they couldn't pay bills or they were in some situation that lead them to that situation. Most poor people are very intelligent but because people see their poor, they look at them in the wrong way. Yeah, there are a lot of stupid people out there but it doesn't mean their all bad. their people just like us.

The Archive from Sean Dunne on Vimeo.

This film here is about how people are lost in what classical music is today. It's about Paul and how he loves to collect records from back in the day that are extremely rare and refuses to sell them. For him collecting records and listening to them is his life and he doesn't want people to take a part of himself away from him. His collection of records costs up to $50 million and he only wants it for $3 million!

I found this film very cool and emotional because it hit me right in the heart of how he has something that is so precious to him and he was in a way forced to give up his store. It hit me because I can't imagine having something so cool, rare and precious to me and have to give it up because society refuses to recognize what i'd believe would be good for them to accept as actual art. How would you feel if you had to give something so precious up because your society wouldn't accept your ideas of art?

Amar (all great achievements require time) from Pilgrim Films on Vimeo.

This film is basically about a boy who apparently works really hard in what he does to keep him and his family from falling apart. He works at two jobs throughout the week, six and a half days a week, and he maintains this as well as going to school. He's the top student of his school. No one else in his family works but him so he makes all the money in the house and supports his family.

I thought that this film was quiet interesting although there are no words spoken. So the only way to understand whats going on is to pay attention and see what the boy is doing. It was good because in a way, it's very emotional and sad because you see this boy working so hard to keep himself and his family going. But throughout the film, I believe from what it looked like, that the boy was happy to do the things he was doing.
