Movie Review: Piuma
By Katie Rountree
Young love and the consequences of un-protected sex make up the story line for this sweet indie Italian film entitled Piuma, which means feather in English. Piuma was the closing film during the CineFesta Italia festival in Santa Fe this June. A roller coaster of emotions occurs between the two young lovers as they try to comprehend just how this unplanned pregnancy will affect their lives and the lives of their dysfunctional parents.

  • Rescuing Baby Elephants: A friend left this week for Africa and asked if I could pass along info about this organization that rescues baby elephants when their mothers have been brutality murdered. If interested, take a look at the video link of footage of the individual rescues; it’s heartbreaking & heartwarming.  It’s only $50 a year to adopt an elephant & you can decide which one resonates with you by watching the individual video clips of the rescues.  If you decide to adopt one let me know and my friend will personally take a video for you of your baby ele. http://www. sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/ asp/fostering.asp?gclid= Cj0KEQjwx6TJBRCWtsiXpI7bhOYBEi QA1en3F0yRaIn13hy0EsTfkInqEHH4 VuGgFJWTXTV-twumZ2MaAnod8P8HAQ
