Lilja 4-Ever is a movie about a Russian girl who is forced to work as a prostitute. As is the case with sex trafficking very often. She is lured into the hands of her captors by a promise of work in a new country. But on her arrival is locked into a room and sold for sex. A disturbing movie that is even more disturbing because it is based on fact. This happens to young girls all over the world every single day. Worth watching even with subtitles.

Rabbit Proof Fence

This is a must see that tells the story of Australia's stolen generation. Australia had a "White Australia" policy until 1974. During this time many Aboriginal children were taken away from their families and placed in orphanages or raised by white families. Many of the families who were given Aboriginal children to raise treated them as slaves or abused them. The idea behind the program was that the children could be trained to live and behave like white people. Half caste children were especially a target as it was believed that the Aboriginal gene could be bred out if they mixed with and married white people.

This is the story of two girls who were taken away from their mother and placed in an orphanage. The girls escaped from the orphanage and followed a rabbit proof fence in order to find their way back to their mother. The journey was a very long one and authorities did their best to find the girls in order to return them to the orphanage. An amazing true story that is well written and historically correct.

Gifts For Car Lovers

Men can be especially difficult to buy for during the festive season. It is a bit easier though if they have a particular hobby or really love their cars. Thankfully there are a ton of fun and unique products around that make fantastic gifts for guys who are really into their cars. You can buy something for their car or something that represents the type of car they wish they had. Either will work! Here are a couple of ideas.

A Beautiful Day

Had a beautiful day today with both of my daughters. So proud of the young women that they have become. They work hard, they care about others and they are both ridiculously intelligent. Is there anything better when you are a Mother to see your children grow into adults that you can be proud of? It makes it all worth it. My eldest daughter recently took a lower paying job in order to follow her dream of being a hairdresser. She tried for several years to get an apprenticeship but had no luck, Finally she found somewhere who would hire her. She quit her job as a manager at a fast food restaurant to take the opportunity. Is a bit of a struggle for her to keep up with bills because her pay has been cut by more than half. It will improve though. Just so happy that she is finally able to do what she loves and is not afraid to make the sacrifice that she needs to. She sure is one young lady who will never, ever give up.
