[COMM-ORG] Short video (5 minutes?) on why people should be actively working to build strong communities?

[Discussion list for COMM-ORG]

From: Tom Pollak <tpollak2 at gmail.com>


I am working on a project -- http://www.freedomsummer.us -- to enlist 
college and high school students to canvass communities with the goal -- 
following Obama's "remake America block by block" theme -- of 
encouraging residents to organize themselves to address major 
neighborhood, local and national problems.  We are working with 
neighborhood nonprofit organizations and associations and community 
leaders to help our pilot neighborhood in Washington DC identify the 
specific issues they wish to tackle.
 
Does anyone know of any short and inspirational videos to help make the 
case for communities to step up their level of engagement?  We would 
like to include a link on the flyers that we are distributing as we canvass.
 
Thanks,
Tom
