Movies:

Fantastic Planet, Hero, Samsara, Dancer in the Dark, Rockers, Baraka, Microcosmos, Palindromes, Amores Perros and City of God.

Television:

I don't have one.

Books:

I haven't read a book from cover to cover in a while, but recently, I've picked up "Ecological Economics", "WorldChanging-a user's guide for the 21st century","The Good Society" and "Race Against Time". I tend to read articles and browse sites more than anything, usually related to Economics, Fair Trade, Spirituality, Lifestyle and Sustainable Design. Recently, I'm liking AdBusters Magazine, www.inhabitat.com and www.worldchanging.com

Heroes:

"Everyone is necessarily the hero of his/her own life story."
I admire my parents, my sister, my husband, Zanak'i Gasikara (the children in Madagascar), Phayish and anyone that has the discipline, desire and determination to live their dreams.
