Screenings will be held in several countries from November through December 2009.

This unique collection of over 20 documentaries presents the stories and voices of children and young people, spotlighting how the world has succeeded – or failed – in the effort to ensure their fundamental rights.

This is great a good example of what the site is for. Let's give the group some definition and add it to the text box here on the group's home page. We can also connect from within this group to videos on this site as well as videos on other sites. There are interesting ways to connect these different social networks. Great idea Jennifer!

This definitely adds the 'social' to the social networking site! This is going to be fun! :)
