Dear cj,
Good responses folks! Sometimes I get all pink floydy and think "Is there
anybody out there?" Not today.

Sounds like a dangerous, yet great idea. My suggestion:
Review Edward R. Murrow's work, particularly his "Harvest of Shame"
and be aware of the timing of its original broadcast.

There was a documentary that was made in French, co-produced I
believe with the aid of the National film board of Canada (NFB), called
"Le nouvel habit de l'empereur", in 1995. It addressed the phenomena of
globalization in regards to the market and its effect on society and
employment. The author is named M. Isacsson and the documentary is around
2 hours long (sorry, don't have more details). The NFB (if it is a
co-producer, of which I'm not sure) usually has a policy of producing
bilingual versions of their films so maybe it's available in English, also.
Good luck with your project, Richard.

Hello,
Shanti RTV news agency has some contacts in mainstream media
groups in the UK. We research factual tv programme subjects or
material material for the groups. As programme producers with
production facilities, Shanti RTV can help assess serious
proposals on the "Globalization", NWO and other subjects.
Kind regards
Parveez Syed

Dear Parveez,
Interesting. What do you think of the project I'm proposing? Would you be
interested in collaborating somehow? I suppose we'll have to deal
explicitly,
within the series, with the inevitable media demonization the series will
encounter - and your participation would bring that necessity to the fore
(You Iranian propaganda agent you!) (:>)
It would seem efficient and effective to recruit a variety of producing
entities (like Shanti), in different locations, to collectively help finalize
the overall program design, and then to take on and tape specific local
investigations, which would then all be collected and post-produced into the
series.
Cheers,
Richard

Subject: coke
Read your globalization project outline off Sunnyside listserv.
Recently flew out of St. Paul on continental; an article in their in-flight
magazine is about Coke's expansion into China, and all the related issues.
Might apply to your project, thought a look at Coke from your angle might be
interesting.
Thank you for your time.

This sounds like a great idea -- putting the Ultimate Instrument of
Propaganda to good use. I would suggest, however, approaching it more
slowly, producing the segments one at a time, even if you conceive of them
as a series. If you make it too big to start, you make it less likely
ever to get produced. When you write and produce the first one, pick out
what seems to you the most important point and make it succinctly, without
piling the evidence on too deeply (I thought that was the main failing of
the film "Manufacturing Consent": too much redundant evidence); enough to
be convincing, but not enough to be boring.
Another thought: you might approach WGBH Boston for funding. They fund
the production of a lot of such independent pieces for the Frontline
series in the US, or at least they did 4 years ago when I left the US. I
also think Frontline would be a good venue for such a documentary.

I think you may be a bit too pessimistic. Public broadcasters, in my
experience, do show such documentaries. I recall that Frontline did show
a few controversial and challenging pieces. In Australia, Four Corners
shows such stories, and I believe in the UK Panorama shows similar pieces
(some have been shown here on Four Corners). I think the key question is
how "interesting" is it. From my observations, if you can personalize the
story, showing the effect of globalization on a few individuals, and then
projecting that effect over the whole population with a few statistics, it
will elicit more interest than a straightforward analysis would. Also you
should make sure to get opposing points of view, and treat them fairly.
Good luck on this project. I look forward to watching the result.
