The Cause and Effect of the Moving Image

One of the reasons I love paintings and photography and film is the power they have to move us. A painting can inspire an idea, a photograph can tell us multiple stories in one frame, and at its best, a movie can motivate us to social action.
Some time back, I interviewed Micki Krimmel and Daniel Hengeveld of Participate.net, the online community of Participant Productions - a film company with the mission to make the world a better place through the power of the moving image. With films like Syriana, Good Night and Good Luck, North Country, Murderball, and others, they really are taking a stand and letting it be known that a movie can be both good and raise public awareness about important issues in our society.

Personal responsibility is something that is often overlooked because of lack of knowledge.
the vlogging community will benefit by making and spreading more and more of videos like this one.

Zadi,
Thanks for this post. I had read about Participate and Skohl in Wired mag, but it was your video footage that inspired me to take action, visit the website and actually register.
Thanks again,
Tony
