So, I won't be in class today because I'm on location in New Orleans, but I'm happy to report that I've been meeting some great people here that have given me a lot of insight on the project. Last night, I was discussing the project with a guy that is making his own short documentaries. His thoughts on what he knew about the project was to do a 10 minute piece with just images, and do one narrative voice over. He thought that this would make a clearer piece, not jumbled up by interviews.
Hmm... Personally, I think that it might be cool to do something like this, but I think it's important to get source interviews as well to reinforce the message-- especially to people who are trying to find holes in the message.
I guess there is a huge difference between a documentary that can be used as an art piece and one that can be used as a tool for change.

That sounds more like a discovery channel voice of god doc. You all are doing a piece that is so much more interesting and complicated. And has such potential for change.
Hope your trip is going well!
