The Listening Project

On Friday, I was lucky enough to be amongst the first to see a new film called "The Listening Project". This documentary sends a group of people around the world to open a conversation about America’s role in the world. It’s not a perfect movie, and it has it’s own lens and perspective as all movies do, but it is quietly powerful in the way that we get to listen in on what people think about America, in locations as diverse as Vancouver, Kabul, and Tanzania.

The filmakers are going to be bringing the movie to some film festivals now, and with luck, they will be able to have it shown in theaters from there. Check out the website, there are some extended interviews and journals from the "listeners" as they made the film.
