Can a film change the world? Documentary certainly has the power to inspire and effect social change, but how does this actually happen? Through the lens of her experience as EVP of Documentary at Participant Productions – where she shepherded last year’s Academy-award winner An Inconvenient Truth and is currently overseeing production on Errol Morris’s expose of the Abu Ghraib prison scandal, S.O.P. and Jonathan Demme’s portrait of former President Jimmy Carter – Diane Weyermann will discuss the current landscape for documentary, as well as some of the creative ways to fund, produce and promote documentaries that make a difference.
