Consuming the Congo

I have a friend in Central Oregon named Matt Smith who is doing some really amazing stuff for World Relief Next (an organization similar to World Vision). Right now he is on a media team that promotes the projects World Relief is participating in. They decided to submit a video to the Enough Project's cell phone promo video contest. The rules were pretty simple: create a  one minute video explaining the war and corruption involved in the mining process for tungsten, tantalum and tin. Right now Matt's video is in the top three and was placed on the YouTube's voter page. If they win the contest their video will be played for the Hollywood Film Festival in front of thousands of very influential people. If you have a couple of minutes (literally) you should watch the three videos and votes which one is the best right here:


 I am not going to tell you which one is Matt's, because I am pretty confidant that it is easily the best one. (Matt is a really talented spoken word writer...) Take a couple of minutes and vote... if anything you will learn something about your cell phone. Thanks guys.
