News!  The Acorn Penny has gotten into the Charlotte Film Festival! Sept 20-26, 2010

Kinshasa dreamed of simple things...a Mom and Dad, food on the table...but when her dreams fade she finds a reality not her own.  Alone in a world that forgot about children and their dreams, she has to find the courage to discover her own destiny.

The Acorn Penny is a short film of hope. An artistic work that shines a light on a forgotten part of the world. A call to aid for the living and a remembrance of the 5.4 million people who have died in the Democratic Republic of the Congo’s Mineral Wars since 1998.

What are conflict minerals?

Take a look at the newest video from the

ENOUGH Project and find out.

The unrest in the Congo is fueled by

Conflict Minerals and a long standing

history of unrest due to a varient of

economic and political factors.  The

Acorn Penny is a short film to wake us

all up - and to have us start talking about

how can we help each child achieve

their dreams and how we can stop war

in any country, in any state.
