We've had interest and views from South Africa, Chile, India, New Zealand, the UK, and more, and we can't wait for all these perspectives to join our dialogue.

From Sandy's desk...
A busy, wonderful March - besides all the video contest press, I did a short film shoot with Elizabeth May at her home - life as an Ottawa MP 11 months later.  I'm pumped from a fabulous community filmmaker workshop on digital media, facilitated by NFB's Tracey Friesen and Sue Biely (Nudge Consulting) - a dynamite team! BTW, sure could use more help developing project tentacles - consider this an open invite to lend time, donate money, or hey, how about both! Contact us for more ways to be part of the action. Thanks. See you next month!

VIU Report Card
The Live Presentation Tentacle launched March 22 with Sandy's visit to a Women's Studies class at VIU in Nanaimo. Students gave Sandy an A+ for sharing comedic and heart-wrenching stories and provocative video clips from her interviews with Canadian women politicians. The session raised questions, inspired conversation and octo-ball juggling and encouraged engagement with the political process. Thanks to Prof. Marian Van Der Zon for the opp. Contact us to invite Sandy to speak to your class.
