Hi Danette, I think Landmark's newest release, Letters from Iran<http://landmarkmmedia.com/letters>would be a perfect fit about in the ways populations are employing new media technologies. The Iranians were the first to tweet; they used Facebook and posted YouTube updates after the 2009 elections. Our film pulls it all together showing how difficult it was to get their story out, but they certainly tried. Bev
