(BOSTON / SALEM) - The new Website for AldinEntertainment.com, offers a fantastic overview of the music videos, books and other resistance-oriented media that gives a voice to those who lack one. It features media produced with and for Salem-News.com.

At the heart of the operation is the son of one of our writers; Jamal Belica. At the age of ten; the kid is way ahead of his time! Working with his extremely talented father, Salem-News.com Boston Bureau Chief Agron Belica, this young man has written and produced a number of popular new songs that pay homage to people who fight for Human Rights.

He is thinking critically and working on projects to help the suffering, and taking the time to recognize the efforts of those who put their lives on the line for the sake of justice.

His song, 'Can't Lose- Bully Proof' goes right to the heart of the matter. Strength is a great thing, it just has to be used for the right things. Jamal sets a standard there also, as a highly accomplished martial arts student.

about Sri Lanka war crimes, at FeTNA in Baltimore

It is so special because he is aware of and involved in things that most kids, let alone adults, have never even heard of.

But after a few minutes with Jamal or 'JB' as he often goes by, they get a quick and hip education in a multimedia environment. All this, and he is barely out of the gate.

I happen to know this young man from Boston who is setting a standard for kids by using his voice and his mind and following what his heart tells him to do.

At a recent conference in Baltimore, Md., I was honored for the stories I have written about war crimes in Sri Lanka against Tamil Hindus and Christians.

Jamal and his mom, Gentiana, and little brother Benjamin joined his dad Agron, our good friend and team member who is also a singer/songwriter and an acclaimed author on religious history, to attend the conference and get their own take on Tamil history.

This is one of many subjects we have worked on collectively.

Agron wrote the epic song, 'Depression' about the Sri Lanka Genocide. Along with that are many other songs that address the heroic deeds of our writers like Ken O'Keefe and Gilad Atzmon and the late Vittorio Arrigoni; there is much to appreciate about what this father and son are doing

Please visit AldinEntertainment.com and take a look, it is a super interesting site.
