My daughter Chloe did too. She wants to be a director, and watching The Corporation really inspired her to make her own documentary to educate children and adults alike to some of the problems of the world. It would be fantastic if directors/producers of The Corporation, An Inconvenient Truth, Supersize Me, The Indigo Evolution, Baraka, Koyaanisqatsi and other documentary films could be persuaded to put a Creative Commons license on the film, allowing re-mixing by students for class projects in their film, social studies, government, economics, etc. courses. The issues exposed in a documentary will ‘sink in’ much more for kids if they get to work with it. Kinesthetic learning beats passive viewing any day.
