Looking for Genius on Babelgum
http://www.babelgum.com/112034/waiting.htm
"Waiting..." (1 min 13 secs) is an eye-opening MicroDoc which shows children in Hebron taking to the roofs to get past soldiers trying to stop them from going to school. This film is in the Looking for Genius category in the Babelgum Online Film Festival - your vote would be appreciated! Thank you.
I voted at Bablegum.com after I heard about the new contest. If you comment on the winning video and the judges select your comment - you get to fly to Cannes and Meet The Chairman, Spike Lee.
