Global documentary – title TBC

Preamble

Taking the premise that we have the power to effect the world in which we inhabit – the documentary seeks to illustrate examples of positive social change. In doing so, inspire people to make a concious decision to think and act positivly for the betterment of our global community.

Currently, society seems to have an infection (maybe it's money – who knows?) - but in any case, the way that the global community as a whole is currently functioning is causing detriment to the peoples of the world. An exemplar of this is that if the budget that the world spends on food in one year were used to finance the global military – it would last just one week. It is barbaric to let people starve. Surly we can do better than this?

The documentary is GLOBAL. The need for people to live in peace and harmony with themselves and the planet is an urgent issue that must be addressed. “If you can articulate the problem – you can fix the problem” It is only by analysis, can solutions be developed.

The stated aim of the documentary is to bring about the much needed social change. We live in a global community, and we are all connected - therefore this documentary adds to that debate. The documentary seeks to act as a positive virus, helping people realise that we as a global society can develop in ways that we can ALL benefit from - change happens one person at a time – this is a positive virus...

The macro and the micro spheres are connected in ways that we can not fully know or comprehend – but this general theory seems to hold true. For example, we must learn conflict resolution on a personal level before it is possible to achieve confilt resolution on a bigger scale. There is an intrinsic 'connectness' to all things; and this issue will be explored within the documentary

Throughout the documentary, all statements will be fully researched; providing academic, quantitative and empirical data – ensuring that all statements have a validity and are not purely emotive.

There is a plethora of topics that could potentially be covered within this documentary – selection criteria for this process would be difficult if not impossible. Additionally, by selecting specific issues for inclusion would yield issues not covered as secondary – when infarct they are not. Therefore, is would seem an imperative of the project to work at a metonymical level (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metonymy) – focussing on broad issues and concepts.

The documentary seeks a fairer way forward for everyone, and to investigate solutions; therefore it will act as a research vehicle.

A network of like minded people will evolve to produce this documentary. Working collectively enables us to effect greater change that we could individually. The approach is to 'just do it' and 'make it up as we go along'. Whilst some people may critique this approach as being 'slap-stick', in reality it affords us great flexibility to respond to opportunities as they become available. We are not seeking to 'prove a hypothesis' we are starting a journey with a shard belief.

We have the skills, knowledge and understanding – lets do it !
