Genie In A Bottle Unleashed
With insight and a creative new voice, two Chicago-area 13-year olds, Stephen Sotor and Trace Gaynor, have written, edited and produced Genie In A Bottle Unleashed, a film that explores the history and consequences of the development of the atomic bomb.
From the secrets of the Manhattan Project through the horrific devastation at Hiroshima and Nagasaki - these two 7th graders lead a new generation through our nuclear history; along the way they manage to interview Nobel prize winning scientists, the creator of the "Doomsday Clock," the mayor of Hiroshima and even a Hiroshima 7th grader about the legacy of the atomic bomb. Even more creatively, they also track down the proverbial "Genie" to find out why he has created such havoc. Screened at the United Nations, this 15-minute gem received a standing ovation.
Hmm, not bad for 13 year olds.

When Dr. Dora Akunyili, the dynamic regulator of Nigeria's Food and Drug Agency (Nafdac), took the job at Nafdac in 2001, more than half of all drugs in Nigeria were counterfeits or substandard. Some contained just chalk or flour. Others, only a fraction of the active ingredient, triggering drug resistant strains of malaria, tuberculosis and HIV: the world's biggest killers. It could be described as the perfect crime. Fake drugs kill vulnerable people: the weak, the old, and the sick. And once consumed, the... more -
