Kavi

How many of you would like to lift an Oscar?

Well Gregg Helvey - a fellow traveller who was in Mumbai last year to shoot a 17 minute short film on modern day slavery called Kavi has done just that.

Gregg not only lifted the prop of Oscar that was part of the decoration of the 2009 Student Oscars - his film actually won the gold medal!

For a look at the trailer of Kavi at the film's website

Now a deep breath and lets see how far the film will go in the main Oscars.

In the meantime, we have so many young boys who are condemned to a life-time of labour all around us. Slaves to others. Slaves to themselves. Slaves to habits. Slaves to the fear of change - and the crippling worldview of anger and street smarts that continues to hold people into stupid poverty - rather than moving them into the potential that God has made them to be.

Our Lord said:
"The Spirit of the Lord is on me,
because he has anointed me
to preach good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners
and recovery of sight for the blind,
to release the oppressed,
to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor." Luke 4.18-19
