A SPRINKLING OF SOCIAL JUSTICE, ENTERTAINMENT, AND CORGIS

Things to Read/Watch/Do
By Hunter Bird (Director)

Bored? I can help.

1. Eve Ensler's blog post for the Huffington Post on the recent controversy surrounding GOP candidate, Todd Akin (who used the phrase “legitimate rape” in talking about abortion and pregnancy). She wrote the blog post from the Democratic Republic of Congo. Read it this moment.
2. This movie:
   BEASTS OF THE SOUTHERN WILD: 
3. My absolute favorite film of 2012. Apparently the lead girl (Quvenzhané Wallis) lied about her age at her audition (she was actually 5 instead of the required 6). She was so incredible, the director REWROTE THE ENTIRE LEAD CHARACTER to fit her particular talents. Ok. The man who plays her father was a local baker who decided on a whim to audition for the movie. Ok.
4. This needs no words.
