image does not show up. Django - html

Question

Can not find what I'm doing wrong (I guess it should be some syntax error). My pictures does not showing up. I'm getting "NO FILES".
html
<!-- RECENTLY ADDED FILES -->
<div class="buttom-box floatleft">
<h3>Recently Added Files</h3>
<p>New class papers. Now you can enjoy and study them</p>
<br>
{% if recent_files %}
{% for file in recent_files %}
<img src="{{ MEDIA_URL }}{{ file.image }}" alt="Sample 1" width="125" height="125" />
{% endfor %}
{% else %}
<p>NO FILES</p>
{% endif %}
</div>
views.py
def index(request):
recent_files = FileDescription.objects.all()
context_instance=RequestContext(request)
return render_to_response('index.html',
{'recent_files':recent_files,},
context_instance,
)
MySQL for FileDescription:
mysql> SELECT * FROM school_filedescription;

However this code in the other page works fine
other page:
{% extends "base.html" %}
{% block main-menu %}
<div class="contentarea">
<img src="{{ MEDIA_URL }}{{ picture.image }}"/>
</div>
{% endblock %}

Try adding the recent file parameter to your request context instance, like this:
context_instance = RequestContext(request, {
'recent_files': recent_files
})
and then call the request like this...
return render_to_response('index.html', context_instance = context_instance)
