The summer is well underway, but the season has yet to produce an anthem as it has in years past - last year brought us "In Paris" and "Super Bass," while the previous one had Rick Ross' "B.M.F (Blowin' Money Fast)." What makes these four summer standout mixtapes so interesting is that the artists seem to be living in that festive, top-of-the-world atmosphere that the youth often desires to be initiated into while still representing where they're from and who they are. This is part of the job summer anthems do.

There are currently over 40,000 institutionalized orphans in Uganda and the number is steadily growing. Last Tuesday night at Hallwalls, Krista Hamlen, a media study graduate student at the University at Buffalo, presented Where We Belong, her recently completed documentary film that explores the inner dynamics of two orphan-related non-profit organizations in Jinja, Uganda. The film provides an up-close and personal vantage point of Ekisa, an orphanage for children with disabilities, and of the Obukuumi Sponsorship Program, an organization that assists families in raising their children at home. Much of the film was shot at Ekisa and includes interviews with the Ugandan women who work there and the two founders of the organization.
