Some links from The Nest Foundation website

I was about to leave the site and decided to browse around some more. I found a list of different site and organizations that some of you may find helpful and useful. The neat thing is that they have also included links to international organizations like those in Cambodia and the UK.

Playground

I was watching pointless news last night, I think it was Access Hollywood and they were reporting on different movies in the Tribeca Film Fest this year.
They talked about one George Clooney had co produced.
It is a documentary based on the sex trafficking in the United States. It was somewhat funny how the hostess was so awed that such a thing was going on in our country. The good 'ole US of A has sex trafficking.

Anyways, I would not know how to go about finding the film but I'll include this this link PLAYGROUND to the Tribeca Film site that has more information on it. It seems like it is a good documentary. One everyone should watch perhaps.

Just found a better link to the Nest Foundation which would have made a very good organization to blog about. The link has a movie trailer.

Here is a little bit about them:

Mission

Nest will raise the public’s awareness of the commercial sexual exploitation (CSE) of American children, through a feature-length documentary film, followed by other art driven media campaigns and an enhanced educational dvd for distribution in high schools throughout North America.


Their website if full of a lot of information as well. Check it out! It is pretty interesting.
