Everyone wants to change the world, but just exactly how do you do it? The ambitions of Jim Keady, a nationally known activist against Nike sweatshop practices, and student Martina , an advocate for fair trade around campus, come together when Jim visits Elon University in North Carolina. With Jim's experience and Martina's passion for advocacy, they might just make a difference.

Really great visual style. I especially loved the opening sequence. I might have liked to have seen more interviews with students -- maybe asking them where their shirt or shoes came from. Keady's position as a Nike sponsored coach turned activist is very interesting, but it can be a little preachy, so the inclusion of student voices might help to balance it out. Awesome start though.
