Documentary film - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views

  • This has made them attractive to film companies because even a limited theatrical release can be highly profitable.
  • Compared to dramatic narrative films, documentaries typically have far lower budgets.

      since they are fairly cheep to make, I think this is a good way to reach people who are at the top. To helo them see the not so green grass on the other side and then maybe they will want to do something about it. If you saturate the industry eith true, disturbing documentaries, they will not be able to be avoided.

    Grameen was one of the corporate entities that we read about in class.  Instead of using its capital gains to feed the upper managements' pockets, they redristribute the funds back into the peoples' coffers.  This is a REAL, CREATIVE solution to a poverty problem.

Kiva.org - Loans that change lives - 0 views

shared by jcoop11 on 29 May 07 - Cached
  •  
    Kiva has a pretty revolutionary idea. People (mainly from the US) loan money to people in third world countires as an investment. The "loaners" get a return on their investment and the people receiving the loan are able to get on their feet. This promotes people helping themselves. Great if applied to healthcare.
