An Innovative Way To Help

(courtesy of Gizmodo)

The government of Belgrade, Serbia has an annual count
of 40 people per year who commit suicide, mainly from
jumping off of bridges. Enlisting the help of ad giant
McCann Erickson, they've installed a projector which flashes
the message you see above, 'You Are Not Alone' with a
number for potential jumpers to call for help.

Pretty cool and if it saves at least one life, it's worth it.

Shaft or Sidney Poitier

This is an independent film shot by Dr. Jonathan Gayles,
an associate professor at Georgia State University. From
the synopsis:

'Through interviews with prominent artists, scholars and
cultural critics along with images from the comic books
themselves, this film examines the degree to which early
Black superheroes generally adhered to common stereotypes
about Black men. From the humorous, to the offensive, early
Black superheroes are critically considered.'

This is a topic that definitely could use more discussion
and exposure and it's good to see something like this out
there. If you're in Nashville, Tennesee you can hopefully
catch this documentary during the International Black Film
Festival of Nashville which runs until Saturday. And you
can get more info about the doc here:
