David Gould, a professor at the University of Iowa, has made several documentary films including Two Sides of the Moon in which he interviews the Dalai Lama! David visited our class today and spoke to the students about his work and how he creates his films. Our student documentarians were full of questions and were able to use the time to begin thinking about how they would like to piece together their own story about water quality. He talked about his love for documentary filmmaking and its ability to make people think about their actions. One Wolf student commented that you can do that best when the audience can connect to the subject matter and have some control over the problem or issue. The students all had huge smiles on their faces, thinking about the possible effect of their own film: AQUAlity.
