Tapped
In late 2008, Switchblade’s Adam Condal edited “Tapped,” a 90-minute documentary that in July of 2009 premiered at the Long Island and Maine International Film Festivals. The film illustrates the impact of the global water crisis on America and what we can do as individuals to enact change sooner rather than later. “Tapped” examines the…
Harvey Milk : Human Rights Champion
From Wikipedia: Harvey Bernard Milk (May 22, 1930 – November 27, 1978) was an American politician and the first openly gay man to be elected to public office in California, as a member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. Politics and gay activism were not Milk’s early interests; he did not feel the need…

Rules such as the following can be either decided upon before the game, or added as the game progresses to make play more fair. At the beginning of the game, one player is designated “it”. After “it” is chosen, the other…
