I was wondering if you would post this announcement in your blog:
Hello All,
I made a 4 minute film on local reactions to Hurricane Katrina, and people's experiences in North Carolina with previous hurricanes such as Floyd. I am trying to get this to air on Current TV. If you like my film, please give it a GREENLIGHT. With enough greenlights, my piece will air and I will donate all the money I make to the Red Cross Hurricane Relief Fund.
