In the News
I ran across this article today while catching up on Congo related news. Apparently the ever famous t.v. show ‘Law and Order’ recently did an episode about gender violence in Eastern Congo. I haven’t had a chance to see the show, but this article is an interview with Law and Order producer, Neal Bear. Here is a quote from Bear on the connection between gender violence and conflict minerals:
Many people haven’t heard about that link before and I hope that they’ll be interested to read more about it. We try to link people on our show to numbers of websites. We actually suggest ways that people can take action because often when you see a television show, you’re very moved by the emotional elements of the story. It really resonates for you. We know from studies we’ve done in the past, that like it or not, TV is more than just “entertainment”. People learn from it and we want to try to be as accurate as possible in putting information out there.
