Pepsi Honors Mother and Son as Everyday Freedom Heroes
Page 4
When 19-year old Taron Lexton graduated from the Los Angeles Film School in 2003, he wanted to do something for his mother. Her passion for children and human rights and Taron’s belief in the power of music and film lead them on a 45,000 mile crusade circling the globe to 13 countries. The resulting international award winning TXL Films production, the UNITED music video, recently won the Gandhi International Film festival in Spain and is now an Academy Award qualifier. UNITED includes cameo performances by Isaac Hayes, Jenna Elfman, Erika Christensen, Catherine Bell, and Lynsey Bartilson. The overwhelming success of the UNITED music video inspired the YHRI UNITED Film Festival in October 2005 including entries made by students from around the world. Lexton is presently working on a project sponsored by the Human Rights Department of the Church of Scientology International, to make 30 short Public Service Announcements (PSA’s) each depicting one of the thirty articles of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Three of the videos have already aired around the world to over 100 million viewers.
