He traveled a long way to escape war in Sudan, morphed into an international top model and actor, and now answers a calling to return home to play a part in the rebuilding. An upcoming documentary titled Ger: To be Separate, directed by Award Winning Wanuri Kahiu, will chronicle his journey back to search for his parents, follow him as he votes for the first time for a new Sudan and as he returns again this year. Please join Ger and a star cast of friends for an intimate benefit event that will fund raise for the planned documentary – Ger.

See video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTlCIrflE4o&feature=player_embedded

The film competition “1 Minute To Save The World” challenged young filmmakers to create a one-minute video about climate change. The competition received films from around the globe, with submissions arriving everywhere from Mexico to Vietnam. “Me And My Bike” won the $8000 Passion Pictures Best Film and Artists Project Earth Youth Visions award.

The video is created by Wafalme, a group of inspired Kenyan teens who communicate various messages through hip-hop.  The group offers the simple yet very real message that bicycles are an environmentally-friendly mode of transportation that can cut down on worldwide carbon dioxide emissions.
