Be Smile Trailer
Be Smile tells the stories of two Inuit men living an urban life in the aftermath of Canada's long history of attempts to unmake an ancient aboriginal culture. Drawing on the strong oral tradition of the Inuit people, the subjects of this documentary recount their stories of childhood hunting expeditions and a lost nomadic way of life, of sexual abuse and alcohol addiction, and of the Christian church's effects on the Inuit worldview. Their stories also reveal a wisdom and outlook that have persisted despite their devastating trials. In the face of all miseries, they resolve to "be smile." Robert S. Lewis is the author of "Gaj: The End of Religion," www.endofreligion.com.

Bon Jovi Loves My Town- Rigolet Labrador, Canada
My video entry for the Bon Jovi Loves My Town contest--Toronto deadline. This contest gives me the chance to show the guys a town that they probably never heard of and a place that they more than likely would not have seen otherwise. Thanks for this! Rigolet is a small community, with a population of approximately 400, located on the north coast of Labrador. The outdoors and tradition are a big part of our lives and this is shown in my video. In my town, everybody knows each other; there are no restaurants, malls, or clubs; snow covers the ground for nearly 6 months of the year, and we go everywhere on our snowmobiles. Temperatures between -20 and -50 degrees celsius are normal for this time of the year...yes I nearly froze shooting my footage, but I really enjoyed making this video and I would do it again! My town is small. We do not have much of a night life, however there is no such thing as traffic jams either; we don't have all that a fast paced city has to offer, but here it is like a vacation everyday as we live a simple, serene lifestyle surrounded by the beauty of Labrador. Unfortunately our town isn't big enough for our favorite bands to stop here on tour, so I made the decision to fly to Toronto for your shows in December and you guys were AMAZING! I cannot wait to do it again! Rigolet, Labrador...I love my town!
