Contrary to a widespread assumption about documentaries, impactful docs are not about causes, issues or historical facts. And so it just makes sense that docs are a viable tool for Millennials’ efforts toward change. Mo Scarpelli’s work straddles the realms of journalism and non-profit advocacy.

I looked over Allan Benamer’s post on the Convio and Kintera initiatives, I looked harder at the Convio Open and Kintera Connect docs, and I also had a chat with some Kintera folk.
