We're Almost There + Economist Article + Earth Group
DEFIANCE
It's a flag, a fire, a cross-armed stare.
It's marching down Broadway with Occupy Wall Street. Rallying near a gated community in Florida, angry over the senseless killing of an unarmed teen. It's beating the odds of early onset Alzheimers as a beloved coach takes her team to an NCAA tourney, and in a maternity ward with a mom and her newborn, years after a doctor said she'd never conceive.
Defiance is all around us.
And whether it blasts with the shouts of thousands, or quietly wears a t-shirt a fast-food company finds threatening, Defiance reminds us that we're stronger than we know.
We're almost there! Please keep sharing our link to friends, family and Facebook --- let's make the best movie possible!
THE ECONOMIST MAGAZINE
One of the most respected magazines in the world has an article in its upcoming issue about Bo. Edited in London, according to Wikipedia, The Economist "targets highly educated readers and claims an audience containing many influential executives and policy-makers." Check out the article here entitled, 'Shut Your Kale-hole' (cool title, huh?)
THANK YOU TO MONTPELIER H.S. EARTH GROUP!
Yesterday Bo had the chance to visit and thank the Montpelier H.S. Earth Group who, a couple of weeks ago, gave us a $1,000 donation for our film --- we're so grateful to everybody who is supporting our film --- a truly, crowd-funded project! Thank you Earth Group!
As always, thank you for all you've been doing for our Kickstarter project, including becoming a backer --- we're this close to reaching our goal --- we're honored to have you be part of our movie!
