Kristopher Harrison - Media Wrench

Kristopher Harrison is a Philosophy student of University of Toronto. In November 2011 he and 11 other people started MediaWrench.org. Since then it has slowly grown, and has been conducting interviews with some of the key people in today's grassroots movements. On the side, MediaWrench has done some promotional and charity work, in an attempt to document and preserve the ideas that seem to be gaining traction in communities across north america. Currently, MediaWrench is growing in popularity, and is always looking for good writers who need a place to present research into sociological and grassroots issues. As of now Mediawrench consists of less than half its original membership, but still maintains a degree of consistency in its output, and content.

MediaWrench's humble beginning took place in the camp of the Toronto Occupy movement's Media Tent, upon the resolution of the camp itself, MediaWrench.org was created to give an unadulterated portrait of current issues, and to a lesser degree, to show that the mainstream media as it is currently, is too big, too slow, and obsolete as a means of staying connected to reality.

We've worked with protesters, helping to promote and document their events, also we've compiled interviews and video for court cases against police brutality. We've helped raise money for orphanages in Kenya. We've even had one of our videos screened in a Harvard classroom
