Many people think of filmmaking as simply a “hobby”, not as a money making industry that can actually sustain a positive financial impact on a community and a filmmaker’s income. In addition, thinking of film as simply a vehicle for “entertaining” the masses has long transpired, and in reality is regularly utilized as a tool to inform audiences on a variety of social issues.

Our guests on tonight’s program are committed to these notions in their life work. Join in the discussion of how film can be a tool for informing audiences on global economics, while at the same time contributing to an artist’s personal financial growth.

Esta semana Uruguay se convirtio en el primer pais en legalizar el uso de marihuana para fines recreativos, al aprobar el senado el proyecto de ley que asi lo consigna. El gobierno de la nacion sudamericana controlara desde el cultivo, distribucion y ventas a travez de farmacias autorizadas con el impuesto correspondiente a usuarios previamente registrados en una base de datos del Estado que controlara que la cantidad adquirida no sobrepase 40 gramos (1.4 onzas) por usuario. El presidente Jose “Pepe” Mujica de 78 años apuesta con esta medida a frenar la violencia originada por el trafico ilegal de marihuana y a trasladar el negocio al estado creando un ambiente de seguridad y control de calidad que conduciria Uruguay a convertirse en el importador por excelencia a lugares como Canada en donde la marihuana medicinal es legal pero sin embargo estimaciones proyectan un deficit frente a la demanda por la planta.  Esta semana tambien en Nueva York, la senadora demócrata Liz Krueger presento un proyecto de ley que legalizaria el uso y consumo de marihuana en el Estado de Nueva York, este proyecto de ley surge como una respuesta a la crisis de derechos civiles originada por la practica de “Stop and Frisk” (Paralo y Revisalo) por la policia de NY que se ha enfocado a detener jovenes negros y latinos en su mayoria. El proyecto de ley busca ademas borrar el record de arresto por posesion de pequenas cantidades de marihuana a mas de 600,000 newyorkinos que actualmente enfrentan dificultades para conseguir empleo y vivienda debido a su historial de arrestos. Unete a la conversacion con Luigi Albau & Claudia Luque!
