Watch and discuss an IRIN movie

IRIN is a Nairobi-based humanitarian news source. This page lists IRIN's most-watched short films of 2011. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the topics range from hugely depressing to marginally less depressing, but the films are interesting for opening a window into little-known areas. One of the movies, for instance, centers on a 70-year-old transgender Cambodian who's been a sex worker since the age of 14. Watching and sharing these movies are easy ways to become more informed and spread information about international aid issues. It's also free entertainment, if you want to look at it that way.



Effort involved: equivalent on average to roughly 4 YouTube videos in terms of length and mental effort, I'd very unscientifically say.
