The Year in Review

Transformational media is blossoming, with more and better quality films being produced. As we start 2012 with all of the promise that it brings for transformation, let’s take a look back at some of the amazing films or 2011 that brought us to this point.  The editors at AwareGuide offer their top picks for 2011, and recognize some films with special consideration.  Please vote for your favorite film of the year:  VOTE HERE

The AwareGuide Editors Choice
Bag It
Finding Joe
Queen of the Sun
Revenge of the Electric Car
The Big Fix
The Last Mountain

Impact Award  - Forks Over Knives
The documentary ‘Forks Over Knives’ is having the type of impact a transformational film is made for. First Russell Brand went vegan, then Ozzy Osbourne. Dancing with Stars Carrie Ann Inaba and her finace went vegetarian. Now, actress Eliza Dushku is jumping into the world of plant based foods.

Inspiration Award - Sing Your Song
While it has not gotten much distribution yet, a film that premiered at Sundance last year was so moving, that it wins this year’s Inspiration Award. Sing Your Song tells the story of Harry Belefonte’s challenges with segregation and how he rose above those challenges to become a champion for justice for all.  See story
