Yesterday we did our “doc duty” by serving as judges for this year’s U.S. International Film and Video Festival. With a couple colleagues of ours, we spent the afternoon viewing submissions from around the globe on wide range of topics. Our job was not to pick the winners, but the rate the programs we viewed –which varied widely in quality. The experience certainly put the whole “awards process” in perspective.

Highlights from the RX FOR SURVIVAL series have been compiled into a two-hour special that will air on Wed., April 12th on most PBS stations. Titled “The Heroes”, this new special focuses on the remarkable individuals whose tireless perseverance saves millions of lives across the globe –proving that one person really can make a different. Two of the sequences from our episode (“DELIVERING THE GOODS”) will be included: our profiles of Barry and Andrea Coleman, founders of Riders for Health, and of Rohima, a community health volunteer in Bangladesh.
