If You Don’t Hear It…. from thebigredchair.wordpress.com

CALL + RESPONSE…you’re not listening. I just read a short commentary by a pastor who said that “everyone is talking about social justice these days. The problem is that if we do it without God, it’s only a good thing and doesn’t bring about the transformation that God desires for human kind.”Really? From my perspective it is difficult to do justice without God. If it is just and merciful… it is God…isn’t it? William Shakespeare once wrote; “The quality of mercy is not strain’d/ It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven/ Upon the place beneath. It is twice blest; It blesseth him that gives and him that takes.” From that pastor’s commentary, I can only conclude that he is just not listening. Sometimes you have to tune your ear toward the earth and trees to hear the gentle falling rain.CALL + RESPONSE requires a discerning ear, eye and heart. And then, a response. Don’t be afraid to feel it raining.

CALL + RESPONSE trailer (in... from rondagp.wordpress.com

CALL+RESPONSE is a first of its kind feature documentary film that reveals the world’s 27 million dirtiest secrets: there are more slaves today than ever before in human history. CALL+RESPONSE goes deep undercover where slavery is thriving from the child brothels of Cambodia to the slave brick kilns of rural India to reveal that in 2007, Slave Traders made more money than Google, Nike and Starbucks combined.Luminaries on the issue such as Cornel West, Madeleine Albright, Daryl Hannah, Julia Ormond, Ashley Judd, Nicholas Kristof, and many other prominent political and cultural figures offer first hand account of this 21st century trade. Performances from Grammy-winning and critically acclaimed artists including Moby, Natasha Bedingfield, Cold War Kids, Matisyahu, Imogen Heap, Talib Kweli, Five For Fighting, Switchfoot, members of Nickel Creek and Tom Petty’s Heartbreakers, Rocco Deluca move this chilling information into inspiration for stopping it.Music is part of the movement against human slavery. Dr. Cornel West connects the music of the American slave fields to the popular music we listen to today, and offers this connection as a rallying cry for the modern abolitionist movement currently brewing. more about "CALL + RESPONSE trailer (in theaters ...", posted with vodpod
