I Am Human - Coming Soon from izzit.org!

"It's very tempting to say, let's just forget it. I'm a human being."

The multiracial population in America is increasing. And it seems like most people – and society as a whole – would like these folks to "pick a side." To identify as one race or the other.

But as demographics shift from separate races to more of a continuum, who gets to decide how these individuals identify?

Meet several multiracial individuals, and hear about their experiences. What implications does this have for our society? Can we move beyond race?

Don’t stop the press! 

Once upon a time, it was forbidden to criticize the king. All information was kept close to the king, in his inner chambers, far, far away from the people he ruled. 

Why? Because knowledge is power. And the king didn’t want the people to have power. He certainly didn’t want them to criticize the way he ran things. 

Enter the concepts of freedom of speech and freedom of the press. Most people think these started in America. But another country actually codified freedom of the press in its constitution before the U.S. did. Find out which country, and explore why this matters more than ever in today’s age of information overload. 

Learn about the power of a free press to keep citizens informed and government in check.

NEW RELEASE - Outside the Box from izzit.org

NEW RELEASE

Don’t ask me what I am. Ask me who I am.

Imagine trying to register your child for school and being forced to reduce a complex racial ancestry to one checkbox… 

Eli Steele just wants to register his son Jack for kindergarten. He has no idea the journey this will begin, or the questions it will lead to. 

They have a complex family history. Son of slaves. Daughter of the revolution. Holocaust survivors. Interracial marriage pioneers in an era of segregation and discrimination. 

Jack and his younger sister June have an even more complicated ancestry when you consider their mother’s heritage – a Mormon settler and Mexican immigrant. 

So when Eli is required to reduce Jack to a single checkmark in front of a race box…it doesn’t sit well with him. 

Explore Eli, Jack, and June’s powerful story of individuality vs. group identity. 

Do you fit inside a box? 

Adapted from the award-winning documentary, How Jack Became Black.

New Release....No More Skinny Sheep

Baaa-dd idea?

If the government paid you per head of sheep in your pasture, how many sheep would you put in it? More than you should? More than was healthy or environmentally sound?

In New Zealand, where agriculture is a main source of income, farmers used to get 30% of their income from government subsidies. That all changed in the mid-1980s, when the subsidies were abolished. How did farmers manage? How did they become so competitive on the global market today?

Find out how New Zealand’s sheep went from skinny to healthy!
