instead of reading that gossip blog...

A couple weeks ago we went to a screening of the 16 short films that were selected for the 6th annual Media That Matters Film Festival. They were amazing, and we discovered that they're all available online at http://www.mediathatmattersfest.org/6/. I think my favorite was high school student Kiri Davis' A Girl Like Me (below; #2 on the site). All those beautiful, smart black girls.

It had me crying in the theater. You have to watch it. But they were all terrific. Even better, for each film, there are links to follow where you can take action on the subject presented.
