Continuing in that vein, on Monday and Tuesday, March 16 – 17, 2015, a small delegation of the FASSW Board joined with CEES (Coalition for the Education of Exceptional Students) in Tallahassee to meet with legislators during this important law making session. The FASSW Legislative Priorities 2015 document was shared with all the legislators and/or their Legislative Assistants. While we shared universally about the important roles that School Social Workers play in supporting student academic achievement, we focused primarily on two bills that will have a direct impact on our work with students. HB 7057 addresses, among other issues, Compulsory School Attendance law. The legislation is proposing an increase in the scope of nonattendance, from 5 unexcused absences within a calendar month or 10 unexcused absences within a 90 calendar day period to 5 unexcused absences within a calendar month or 10 absences (regardless of excused or not) within a 90 calendar day period.

As Tina begins the process of transitioning, Eliana struggles to understand Tina and fears that their life together in America is no longer what they bargained for. Tina finds camaraderie in a small but mighty transgender advocate group, but soon, Tina ends up having to fight for the life that she’s meant to live – facing violent threats, seemingly insurmountable medical costs, questions about her legal immigration status, and increasing skepticism from the man she loves. She begins to lose all hope, but has unknowingly become the only hope for a shy young man who has been watching her closely from afar. Directed by Flavio Alves and featuring an authentic cast, with transgender actors in trans roles and Latinx performers in Latinx roles, THE GARDEN LEFT BEHIND also stars Anthony Abdo, Tamara Williams, Ivana Black, Kristen Lovell, Danny Flaherty, Alex Kruz, Michael Madsen, and Ed Asner.

  • Creative Minds. a TV Documentary About Those Who Express
    Creative Minds. A TV Documentary about those who express themselves through art. By Bárbara A. Soares. A dissertation by practice submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for MA in Journalism & Media Communications (QQI) Faculty of Journalism & Media Communications Griffith College Dublin. August 2016. Declaration I hereby certify that this material, which I now submit for assessment on the programme of study leading to the award of the MA in Journalism & Media Communications, is my own; based on my personal study and/or research, and that I have acknowledged all material and sources used in its preparation. I also certify that I have not copied in part or whole or otherwise plagiarized the work of anyone else, including other students. Signed: Dated: 2 Abstract Creative Minds explores the profile of those who have the necessity to express themselves through art. This project aims to deliver an insight into an artist life, their struggles in society, their background, the importance of freedom, family and friends support, and the pros and cons of a creative life. It also analyses what defines art and an artist. Creative Minds is a film documentary that contains a lot of in-depth interviews with four artists from three different countries. Creative Minds aims to be an interesting, informative and fun laid-back documentary film, visually attractive, moving fast from one scene to another, with interviews and examples of artists working in their ‘ambience’. It is a low budget, 'art documentary' film. Brett Morgen, Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck director, defines well the necessity to create when he describes his perception of Cobain by analysing the artist’s life story: “One thing about Kurt is before he was a musician, and before he was a rock star, he was an artist, and an artist with a capital A.
