Park Avenue: Money, Power, and the American Dream aired on PBSIndependent Lens last night and is now available on Hulu. If any student or students would like to write a review of it, please do so ASAP and forward to me for posting.
STEPS has created a multimedia initiative to reignite interest in the problem of global poverty. Why Poverty?will feature 8 documentaries and 30 shorter videos that will be released for online and television viewing later this month (trailers and some shorts are already available on its YouTube channel). According to STEPS, the objectives of the initiative are to: produce narratives that inspire people to think and be part of the solution, involve the best filmmakers in the creation of bold and provocative factual films, bring together broadcasters worldwide and engage audience through multiple media platforms, create a global outreach campaign, supplementing the broadcasts with extra teaching materials, and engage with decision-makers and influencers to find solutions for change.
