The Backlight: Idaho Learning Center inspires me because they help kids who have learning struggles. This educational therapy changes their lives so that they can succeed in life! I helped to make this video with a zero budget.
The Backlight: I got tired of the story spinning and talking points that were coming from conservative talking heads during the 2008 presidential campaign. I decided to juxtapose the "controversial" words of certain figures that I felt were blown out...
