I spoke to Hayden Reiss, the producer of the Lakoff DVD, today. What a remarkable person! His organization is called "Educate the Base." He came up with the idea of making a DVD of Lakoff after reading Lakoff's book, Moral Politics. He tested it with progressives to determine how long to make it -- and decided on that short format. I think that really works! More discussion comes from having a 20 minute video than from having a 2-hour video. He's done other mini-documentaries, mostly on poets. He's interested in doing more educational videos for progressives, and is using the proceeds from the Lakoff DVD to fund that.
After he made the DVD he tried to get Moveon and other organizations interested in distributing it, but they were so busy with other things before the election that they didn't pick up on it.
Talking to him was really inspiring. It made me feel that there are so many people out there trying to figure out a way to take our country back that we WILL be able to do it. We just each need to play our part.
