American Documentary, Inc.
American Documentary, Inc. builds new audiences, educates viewers, and fosters sustained public discourse and activity around the contemporary social issues raised by P.O.V. (Point of View) documentary programming. Their film Girls Like Us, for example, used broadcast media to encourage adults to become aware of the issues affecting the young women in their lives.
In an effort to inspire intergenerational dialogue around Girls Like Us, P.O.V. coordinated with human service and other relevant local organizations in order to maximize the program’s impact on different audiences. Local activities included call-in shows, online support systems, sneak preview screening/discussion forums, and coalition building.

In partnership with the Animating Democracy Initiative of Americans for the Arts (www.americansforthearts.org/animatingdemocracy/), NCDD’s Leah Lamb researched arts-based civic dialogue programs in order to help dialogue & deliberation practitioners strengthen their work by linking it to the arts. NCDD hopes these resources will inspire you, and encourages you to connect with the artists, many of whom are interested in working with D&D practitioners.
