My name is Mia Kirshner and I am the director of I Live Here Projects. The aim of our organization is to provide urgent care to communities that have slipped through the cracks. Our first project is in Kachere Juvenile Prison in Malawi, where we are forming a full-time school, permaculture garden project and legal rights. These children had slipped through the cracks when we first arrived in Kachere.
That is not what this piece is about.
I am writing about an issue that I can no longer keep quiet about.
While I was in Malawi in December, Malawi’s first gay couple got married in a public commitment ceremony. Their names are Tiwonge Chimbalanga and Steven Monjeza. I read the headlines detailing their wedding and sardonic commentary of the journalists writing the pieces. Two days after they married, they were met with both public cheers and humiliation. They now face over a decade of hard labor in a Malawian prison for their actions.

SPUKHAUS PRODUCTIONS’ very own Joachim Reinhold went on Saturday afternoon to London in order to honour Mia Kirshner (’24′, The L Word, The Black Dahlia etc) with this year’s “BREMEN MEDIA AWARD”. Time was really short and the video isn’t fully processed yet, but we are all very glad that Mia accepted this honour and found some time during her very tight shedule to receive the Stadtmusikanten statue. This is the first photo batch – more in good time.
As the “BREMEN MEDIA AWARD” is granted anually we will start our brand new website http://www.bremen-media-award.de shortly. There you will find the back ground story about why this award was created and our past and present winners. Starting in January 2007 you can vote online for our next bunch of nominees.

EDIT: Mia received the award for her “outstanding performance in The L Word.” A video of her receiving this award is now online and can be viewed here.
Actor Carlos Bernard found himself in trouble after a prank to arrest 24 co-star Mia Kirshner held up filming and cost producers a fortune.
Bernard, who plays Tony Almeida in the hit drama series, thought it would be funny to report Kirshner as a marijuana user to cop pals and have them arrest her on the set.
