Africa is emerging from a history of “white man conservaon” that displaced indigenous people, banned subsistence hunng, and fueled resentment. Now, a revoluon in grass‐roots wildlife conservaon is turning poachers into protectors. But change doesn’t come easy. With memorable characters and spectacular locaons, MILKING THE RHINO tells joyful, penetrang and heartbreaking stories from Kenya and Namibia – revealing the high stakes obstacles facing Community Conservaon today. DIRECTED & PRODUCED BY DAVID E. SIMPSON Co‐Producers: Jeannie R. Magill and Rehad Desai Execuve Producer: Gordon Quinn From Kartemquin Films, the makers of HOOP DREAMS and other award‐winning documentaries.

Major funding for MILKING THE RHINO was provided by The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundaon. www.MilkingTheRhino.org Director’s Statement I like wild animals as much as the next person, but what drew me to MILKING THE RHINO was the people. I wanted to tell the story of conservaon from the African perspecve — something that I, for one, had never seen. Africa is the world’s conservaon laboratory. But like most Westerners I was ignorant of the dark side of Africa's conservaon history: that it furthered the tourism‐agendas of colonial governments while displacing and alienaHng indigenous people. In post‐colonial Hmes, conservaon has been turned on its head by a growing consensus that the world’s remaining wildlife is doomed unless local people are given a say and a stake in preserving it. My goal in MILKING THE RHINO was to explore the nuances and complexies of this new people‐centered approach. I’m capvated by the noon of a community undergoing rapid, radical change. The Himba and Maasai are among the oldest cale cultures on earth; herding is in their DNA. So for the Il Ngwesi community to retool their economy and lifestyle to favor eco‐tourism and conservaon – at the expense of grass and space for cale – is like removing a rib. I’m fascinated by the connuing debate within the community, and by the collision of ancient ways with Western expectaons. My hope is that this film will cause audiences to revise their images of Africa and Africans. Most Westerners see Africa through a haze of reportage about wars, AIDS, poverty, corrupon. Rural Africa in parcular is viewed as backwards and/or romancally pure. By weaving stories of complex, mul‐ faceted characters, MILKING THE RHINO breaks with stereotype to paint rural Africans as akina sisi – “people like us.” ‐ David E.

    TELEVISUALISING TRANSNATIONAL MIGRATION: THE NEW AMERICANS Alan Grossman and Áine O’Brien TELEVISUALISING TRANSNATIONAL MIGRATION: THE NEW AMERICANS Alan Grossman and Áine O’Brien Originally published in 2007: Grossman and O'Brien (eds) Projecting Migration: Transcultural Documentary Practice, Columbia University Press, NY (Book/DVD). [Combined DVD/Book engaged with questions of migration, mobility and displacement through the prism of creative practice. Columbia University Press, NY] I The title of this book [The New Americans] and the documentary series upon which it reflects proclaims that something is fundamentally different about our most recent wave of immigration The racial and ethnic identity of the United States is ‐ once again ‐ being remade. The 2000 Census counts some 28 million first‐generation immigrants among us. This is the highest number in history – often pointed out by anti‐immigrant lobbyists ‐ but it is not the highest percentage of the foreign‐born in relation to the overall population. In 1907, that ratio was 14 percent; today, it is 10 percent. Yet there is the pervasive notion that something is occurring that has never occurred before, or that more is at stake than ever before. And there is a crucial distinction to be made between the current wave and the ones that preceded it. As late as the 1950s, two‐thirds of immigration to the US originated in Europe. By the 1980s, more than 80 percent came from Latin America and Asia. As at every other historical juncture, when we receive a new batch of strangers, there is a reaction, a kind of political gasp that says: We no longer recognize ourselves.

These “violence interrupters” (their job title) – who have credibility on the street because of their own personal histories – intervene in conflicts before the incidents explode into violence. Their work and their insights are informed by their own journeys, which, as each of them point out, defy easy characterization. Shot over the course of a year out of Kartemquin Films, THE INTERRUPTERS captures a period in Chicago when it became a national symbol for the violence in our cities.

  • Aufderheide Documentary Film Since 1999 Ssrn
    Keywords: Documentary; public affairs; personal documentary; theatrical documentary; investigative documentary; cinema verite; auteur Mainstream Documentary Film since 1999 By Patricia Aufderheide To be published in Blackwell’s History of American Film (Cynthia Lucia, ed), New York: Blackwell's, 2012 From the 1930s to the 1990s, documentary was a rather dowdy cinematic category; to many, it even represented a subordinate cinematic form. “Is it a movie or a documentary?” was an entirely expectable question. That all changed by the end of the 1990s. The first decade of the 21st century was one of unprecedented burgeoning of documentary production and consumption that entailed a great increase in output and some qualitative advances. While televisual documentary came to be associated with certain factory values that reflected the TV industry’s vast need for programming, theatrical documentary came in this period to be seen as a much more individually crafted, courageous, human-scale response against social injustice and the abuse of power. Hence, the era also raised questions about the social role of documentary, including the responsibility of filmmakers to serve the public's informational needs and to honor traditional journalistic goals, such as accuracy. 1 Electronic copy available at: http://ssrn.com/abstract=2120158 Documentary, a term that the dour Scottish documentary entrepreneur John Grierson crafted, has at its core a promise to say something about real life truthfully. There was the Griersonian legacy, for one. If cinema were food, for Grierson documentary was the spinach. He recommended it as a tool of education and persuasion for governments and businesses alike; documentary was supposed to do the business of managing the social peace (Aitken 1990).
