5 documentaries that may relate to our project:
Jesus Camp- Heidi Ewing/ Rachel Grady
This documentary is about a group of children who attend summer camp to strengthen their prophetic skills and "take back America for Jesus." This film does focus on Christianity and seems a bit obtrusive which is something we do not want to do with out project.
Bukowski: Born Into This- JohN Dullaghan
This is a documentary about Charles Bukowski, a writer and poet who influenced many. The film is made up of readings and interviews with Bukowski as well as those who he influenced. This may relate to our project in that it is a case study of a certain individual and how he influenced many.
Life of Buddha- Martin Meissonnier
This documentary explores Buddhism an dthe story of Shiddhartha and his spiritual transformation into the Buddha. Though Buddhism is the "religion of no religion" and we do not intend to focus primarily on the Christian religion, I think that the insights of Buddhist scholars and spiritual leaders may relate to experienced views of Dr. B and other men of the ministry.
Nobelity- Turk Pipkin
This film combines the insights of nine Nobelists and their first person views on world problems and the children who will face them. This relates directly to the idea of paving a way for our youth by teaching them from an early age on. By exposing our children to such information and mentoring them they will have a better chance of successfully solving/facing their problems when the time comes whether spiritual, economic, environmental...
Though this probably doesn't count as it has yet to be released, or named for that matter:
Gary Walters, a man from Minnesota, and his four children ages 10 to 15 are walking accross the state of Minnesota to raise awareness and money for the importance of youth mentoring. The Mentoring Partnership of Minnesota’s Executive Youth Board is co-producing a half-an-hour documentary on mentoring with Twin Cities Public Television scheduled to debut in October. Though we obviously can't watch this, it is the only thing i could find about the idea of mentoring.

These are wonderful Jake. Really try to get your hands on each and watch them as a group. I think each of the angles you've chosen can only lend to the knowledge and depth you'll bring to your own doc. Great work!!!
