First Post: Welcome!
This morning I was watching C-Span2 and I saw Michael Horowitz, Senior Fellow for a conservative think tank, the Hudson Institute. Mr. Horowitz was discussing the creation of films by South Koreans to undermine the credibility of the North Korean regime. After showing these films to people in South Korea and Japan, Horowitz hopes the citizens will pressure their governments to take a tougher stance against North Korea and its ruthless dictator Kim Jung-Il.
Michael Horwitz wants to use videos to undermine an unfriendly regime. We want to use videos to better the world. Our goal is to teach people to make videos. The purpose of these videos would be to educate, to show people how to perform certain skills.
Of course, books and other instructional literature is widely available, and the internet has a vast repository of instructional material. Such sources are certainly adequate for those of us who are fortunate enough to have access to them, and who can read and understand them.
However, much of the world is illiterate. How can these people learn valuable skills with which to better themselves and their communities? To reach these people, and to help improve their lives, video is the ideal medium.
We want to teach people all over the country and all over the world how to make their own videos to educate and instruct which we will then distribute all over the world. And we want to find other people who believe in our goals to help us spread the word. If you are interested in these ideas please e-mail me at justernest@cableone.net and I'll tell you more about it.
