Introducing
With so much content continually being added to our Channel Directory, we'd like to take a moment to highlight one of our newest channels, Project Pedal. This is a personal favorite for many of us at Team Pando. We've included the first episode below so that you can check it out.This award winning documentary, currently nominated for the Flux 2007 iPod Film Festival, is one of the most compelling Internet TV shows on the web.
A quick summary: This documentary will bookend with the Pacific and Atlantic oceans... anchored to a small group's cross country trip and focusing on the inspiring people that cross their path and a vlog will be posted that will share stories from these people met along the way - as well as the main cast and the occasional behind-the-scenes footage. In the end, the bi-product of these vlogs will be used for a feature length documentary.The end-goal of this project, both in it's vlog and documentary form, is to share people's reasons and motivations behind their trip. Most importantly to share what makes or drives a person to leave everything behind and to understand what they each take away from this overwhelming and painful journey.
The journey is coming down to its last two months and we plan to update you over next few newsletters on how it goes. So enjoy this inaugural episode, and catch up on the rest by subscribing now.
A Story of Healing
For the first time in history, an Academy Award® winning film is being licensed under a Creative Commons License. In 1997, a Dewey-Obenchain film crew accompanied an Interplast volunteer surgical team to An Giang province in Vietnam’s Mekong Delta. The filmmakers donated their services to document the team’s experiences and produce “A Story of Healing,” which earned the 1997 Academy Award® for best documentary, short subject. The 28-minute film is followed by a short epilogue (after the credits) which follows-up on two patients 16 months after their surgeries.
Ten years later, Interplast is proud to announce that “A Story of Healing,” has been released under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommerical-No Derivatives license (by-nc-nd) and is being made available for free online. Pando Networks has partnered with Interplast to provide the full-rez version available for downloading and sharing. To learn more about Interplast, please go to www.interplast.org. If you feel moved by their film or mission, please donate to help them expand their programs.
