Emma's Mixtape

Mia Kirschner - whom you may watch on 'The L Word' - has just published a wonderful book, in collaboration with Amnesty International, called 'I Live Here', in which, through art, prose and poetry, she chronicles human rights abuses across the globe. Her travel journals were the primary source, along with interviews and art works by the abused. The above link should take you to her appearance on PBS this evening. A tender woman but fearsome activist, this is not just an actress wearing a frock to a charity benefit - I promise you, the work in this book is Mia's life. An inch shorter than me and always in flats, she is the tiniest Amazon I know.
