“Crash” (2004)
You think you know who you are. You have no idea.
Live your life at the point of impact
Moving at the speed of life, we are bound to collide with each other.

Several stories interweave during two days in Los Angeles involving a
collection of inter-related characters, a police detective with a drugged
out mother and a thieving younger brother, two car thieves who are
constantly theorizing on society and race, the white district attorney and
his irritated and pampered wife, a racist white veteran cop (caring for a
sick father at home) who disgusts his more idealistic younger partner, a
successful Hollywood director and his wife who must deal with the racist
cop, a Persian-immigrant father who buys a gun to protect his shop, a
Hispanic locksmith and his young daughter who is afraid of bullets, and
more…

WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU THERE!!!!

Oxfam America Change Initiative

Oxfam America, an international relief and development organization that
creates lasting solutions to poverty, hunger, and injustice, is  currently  accepting applications for the CHANGE Initiative, its national student leadership program.

CHANGE offers college students, at US based campuses, entering their sophomore or junior year the opportunity to become effective social change agents. CHANGE Leaders are exposed to the international development issues that inform Oxfam’s work, and apply their skills and insights to run Oxfam campaigns on their campuses and in their communities.

Applications are due on April 1st, 2008. Selected students are required  to participate in a week long training in Boston, July 19-25, 2008,  which is organized and paid for by Oxfam. Students must also implement an Oxfam campaign on their campus and communicate regularly with Oxfam staff about the work they are undertaking during the 2008-2009 academic year.

Apply on line and watch our CHANGE video at: http://www.oxfamamerica.org/change. If you have any questions please call 1-800-77-OXFAM ext. 2464 or email CHANGE@oxfamamerica.org.
