Beth Hart: Mama, This One's for You



Beth Hart - the GRAMMY nominated singer and songwriter with a voice "reminiscent of Etta James and Janis Joplin” (Music Connection) -  released a moving Mother’s Day video for her song “Mama This One’s For You," featured on her latest release 'Better Than Home.’

The video features footage of Hart with her Mother, as well as clips submitted from fans with their moms or children. The video begins with Hart introducing the song at a  performance at London’s Union Chapel - “When I wrote it, I was so filled with I guess guilt, that I went and I called my mom and I was like, ‘I wrote you this song,' and I played the song and I cried the whole way through it. And she’s like, ‘Ok Beth, just call me later when you’re not so upset.' So this is for her. I love my momma more than anything.”

An Age for Justice: Confronting Elder Abuse in America

 An Age for Justice; Elder Abuse in America, a video produced by the Elder Justice Now campaign, shows the families and individuals whose lives have been turned upside down by elder abuse.

The video provides stark proof of the financial, emotional, and phsycial and psychological impact of the violence and abuse that an estimated five million Americans face every day. We hear from Vicki Bastion, 92, who installed a security gate inside her home to protect herself and what valuables she had left from her grandson and his gang‐related friends; Betty Beckles talks about her daughter beating her; Bob Lee tells us about his father, who was victimized by a paid caregiver causes depression that contributed to his death; and Pat Smith tells us about her husband, who has Alzheimers disease and was victimized financially by a young woman in Las Vegas who walked with $750,000.

The video was produced by the National Council on Aging and WITNESS, to shine the light on what one interviewee called a dark mark on our humanity.
