In today's dynamic global economy, information of all kinds moves easily across local and international borders. This growing cultural and economic interdependence is affecting the choices young people face as they emerge into the world as adults. To prepare for their future participation in the global arena, U.S. students must understand and deeply respect that there is a world beyond U.S. borders. Moreover, middle school students are at an age where they are deciding what they believe, forming stronger opinions about the world around them, and exploring beyond their parents' views and ideas. Students seldom need to be coaxed into watching films. It is a media that evokes emotion and provokes stimulating discussion both inside and outside of the classroom.

First, we serve today's youth:

• Students need to have a deeper understanding of other cultures.
• Students need to put people of other nations into a real life context.
• Students need to be passionately engaged in academic subjects with innovative materials to promote literacy.

Second, we serve educators and the desires of parents:

• Students must be educated for a global economy and future.
• Educators need effective classroom materials for today's media-centric youth.
• Educators need creative classroom tools for teaching basic skills in reading, writing, math and science.
• Educators seek innovative professional development opportunities that are relevant to the needs of their students.
