United States
PARTICULAR CHARACTERISTICS OF PROGRAM:The program makes no comment on a situation in flux. There is no narration; the case has not yet been tried; the outcome is yet to be determined. The facts are recited and the social environment is revealed through the statements of the accused, their families, neighbours and local officials. The viewer is offered a “window” into the “New South”. The impact of the program derives not form its manipulation of images and words by form its willingness to let both sides present their case at their own speed and in their own style. The result is that the viewer is drawn to his own conclusion rather than confronted with the conclusion of the producers. |

PARTICULAR CHARACTERISTICS OF PROGRAM:”The intent of ZOOM guest film, “Diana”, is to emphasize how children are able to share their lives with another despite their differences. Through sharing ideas and feelings children see how much alike they can be and also how they can be individually different in many ways. By seeing how Diana has been able to deal with her own individual “difference”, other children see that see is really not so “different” from themselves. Thus the non-handicapped child is given new knowledge about and sensitivity to the handicapped child. |

United States
PARTICULAR CHARACTERISTICS OF PROGRAM:The subject matter of this program is treated uniquely. Programs of this nature are most often treated in a documentary fashion. This film has a dramatic treatment. But of more interest, past efforts have always dealt with the problems of the deaf. Our program deals with a much larger segment of society, the hearing impaired (hard of hearing) and their frustration emotionally and physically. Our program deals with the meaning of communication form the viewpoint of a young woman who feels isolated from society. Although this story is about the hearing-impaired, it can be related to by anyone who has felt this way; a sense of alienation from society can have a profound impact upon all aspects of a person’s life. Captioned for the hearing impaired. |

PARTICULAR CHARACTERISTICS OF PROGRAM: The city of Los Angeles had been terrorized by a “Hillside Strangler” who had killed 11 women. People were afraid to walk on the streets, or even drive. There was an immediate need to help the citizenry. This program was produced as quickly and as simply as possible: in a park and in a home, with one camera – in realistic situations where a woman might be threatened.Viewers saw what they could do with little training to protect themselves and get away from danger. |
