Breadline USA
My rather brilliant friend Sasha Abramsky has a new book out called Breadline USA: The Hidden Scandal of American Hunger and How to Fix It. The book is a timely look at hunger and poverty in America, based on hundreds of interviews with people around the country and a series of low income dietary experiments Sasha subjected himself to while researching and writing the book. Visit Sasha's web site to learn more about the book, and, of course, you can buy it online.

Tony Gerber and I have been invited to the Sundance Institute Documentary Lab in August to workshop "Full Battle Rattle," our documentary about life inside the US Army's Iraq simulation. We'll be working with the Lab's guest film composers and screening our cut for advisors and staff. It should be a wonderful opportunity to share the film, in its early rough-cut stage, with an audience and get some feedback.
