Global Kids machinima showcases how teens are asserting their rights in virtual spaces

Here's a neat little machinima describing how young people in the Teen Grid of Second Life are learning how to raise their voice to authorities (in this case Linden Lab) about issues that they care about. The video was produced for the "Civil Liberties in Virtual Worlds" MacArthur event happening his Monday at 12PM PST. Kudos to the teens who volunteered to lend their avatars, voices and stories to the video, Blue Linden for his assistance, and my colleague Kathy Vega, our in-house machinimist, for producing the piece.

I suggested to Kathy that "Fight the Power" be playing in the background.  But I guess that would be overkill.
