Over 50 people attended the evening, introduced by the Museum of the Moving Image's Carl Goodman and Global Kids' Barry Joseph, and presented by a variety of Global Kids youth leaders.
In attendance were parents, school officials, Second Life educators, experts on child soldiers, representatives from UNICEF, those working for the International Criminal Court, and more.
The films were well received, as made clear from the comments made during the Q&A period, and afterwards we socialized during a reception on the third floor of the museum.
