Fostering Care: ‘The Builder’
(The Builder. Also read the NYT article “D.I.Y. Music Labels Embrace D.I.Y. Film.”)
Diagnostic Voices of Community: ‘Soul Kitchen’
Another film from my favorite director Fatih Akin. Read the NYT review of it. Here is an excerpt:
Mr. Akin’s vision of interconnectedness in the global village, while similar to that of a movie like “Babel,” is more casual and lighthearted. You don’t feel pressured to ponder the deeper meaning of the geopolitical puzzle; it’s just a fact of modern life.
Diagnostic Voices of Community: ‘Captured America’

Children aiming sticks as guns, lined up against a brick building. Washington, D.C.(?), between 1941 and 1942. Reproduction from color slide. Photographer Unknown. Prints and Photographs Division, Library of Congress
The Denver Post showcases an excellent series of photographs under the title “Captured: America in Color from 1939-1943.”
These images, by photographers of the Farm Security Administration/Office of War Information, are some of the only color photographs taken of the effects of the Depression on America’s rural and small town populations. The photographs are the property of the Library of Congress and were included in a 2006 exhibit Bound for Glory: America in Color.
