Forget “Netflix & Chill,” this weekend try Kanopy & Repose!

Your suggestion this week is the documentary "Every Three Seconds" (2014), available on Kanopy using your ETSU login information.

https://www.kanopy.com/en/etsu/video/137543

“In a society where materialism reigns, what is the real secret to happiness? Award-winning filmmaker Daniel Karslake (For the Bible Tells Me So) tells the unforgettable stories of five regular folks – a boy, a college student, a thirty-something and two seniors – whose lives went from ordinary to extraordinary based on one simple decision: to engage. Each chose action over apathy, and in the process, each one has had a significant and lasting impact on two of the most challenging, yet solvable, issues of our time: hunger and extreme poverty.
Every Three Seconds is about doing well by doing good – about changing the world and changing your own life in the process.” (Kanopy description)

In the wake of the attacks on September 11, 2001, the nation found itself in a state of shock and confusion. Today, our undergraduate student-body is overwhelmingly comprised of young-adults born after those tragic events. On this 22nd Anniversary, we ask our current students to examine how the shift in social norms might have affected their lived experiences and perceptions; to ask, how might the unique perspectives of their generation, combined with their academic pursuits lead to a better understanding and abatement of such acts.

To this end, we offer a few, key tools:
