Hi, my name is Alex Shimalla and I’m currently a high school sophomore in Savannah, GA working with the Nobis Project. The Nobis Project is an educational non-profit organization that supports youth, educational leaders, and community organizations in building skills to analyze issues that impact our society and take actions towards initiating positive change.

As an intern of Nobis Project I have been tasked with creating a database of videos depicting social issues and ways in which individuals, or groups, have worked to make a difference in the world, and the major influence they were able to make on a single village, community, or nation. In this blog I will review the videos and offer you a student perspective on the subject matter and overall quality of the film.

I plan to post a new review every month. So check back frequently and read a new review. I hope that my readers will benefit from my perceptive and I encourage you all to watch these films and witness what others have done to help a community and, hopefully, be inspired to do the same.

If you want to be notified each month when I post about a new DVD, just click follow at the bottom right hand corner of the page and sign up! Be sure to click on the confirmation link that WordPress sends you, so you can definitely be notified!
