Don't Cry, Javi

This week I had the pleasure of attending a screening of Javier Bardem's movie, "Invisibles" (which you must say with a Spanish accent, por favor). A dear old friend of mine works selflessly at Enough, and has traveled to the Congo and witnessed some serious business first hand (without GPS, mind you). She was scheduled to speak on a panel with Javier before the film, but rolled with the punches and still organized a really effective, awesome event at Tribeca Cinemas.

The Invisibles focuses on the five most under-reported stories of suffering in the world. From "unprofitable" diseases to the plight of child soldiers in Uganda and the destruction of the female in the Congo, the movie is an emotional world tour of heartbreak. But there is hope, and a lot of it comes from organizations like the Enough project. You can call congress, get smart, vote smart, and raise awareness by talking to friends (and maybe even...blogging).

Incidentally, Javi was in TMagazine this weekend, looking like he'd just watched Invisibles:
