New release - Bee the Change!

We have a new release! Bee the Change showcases the story of two small family businesses in Chile: a beekeeper, and a woman who runs a micro-factory to make textiles. It gives Chilean history, and shows how increased economic freedom has made more opportunities for people, especially the poor. If you teach Spanish, this DVD has folks speaking in Spanish. (It's dubbed over with translators speaking English.)








Check out the photo of our film crew in protective bee suits! That must have been quite an interesting shoot!
