August 1st, 2006 by Andre Soares
At Cinema Minima, Cyndi Greening has a list of documentaries that have recently won grants from the Sundance Institute Documentary Fund. The recipients were chosen by "a committee of human rights experts and film professionals."
As per Greening’s article, "the Sundance Institute Documentary Fund encourages the diverse exchange of ideas crucial to developing an open society, raising public consciousness about human rights abuses and restrictions of civil liberties, and fostering an ongoing debate about these issues."

I represent a group of Tennessee State University students who produced a 29 minute documentary on Gulf Coast survivors of the Hurricane Katrina Disaster. It has been almost a year now and we want to continue our work covering the progress being made along the coast and in New Orleans. The Documentary we produced contains interviews of survivors and footage of New Orleans eight months after the storm. We want to update stories and obtain more footage in Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana. But we need funding because ours has expired. We have the dedicated students, but we need more help. This is a story that needs to be told by us, we the students and you the producer.
