Roundtable Learning and Roundtable Media combines the power of story with the latest creative technologies to produce memorable learning events and compelling non-fiction videos. Roundtable Learning brings proven instructional design expertise, knowledge of how people actually learn and how learning can be informed and accelerated by story, and technical knowledge in order to provide companies and organizations with effective and holistic learning solutions and websites. Roundtable Media brings this same expertise at narrative and technical innovation to produce compelling and entertaining documentaries and other video products. Its first feature documentary "I Can Tell the World" (www.icantelltheworld.com) is now available on Amazon, Best Buy, Netflix and other outlets, and is in international distribution. Roundtable Media completed " A Garden in Every Neighborhood," a commissioned film for Denver Urban Gardens, and recently completed its second full-length documentary "The Contents of Her Purse." |
I Can Tell the World
I Can Tell the World, a feature-length documentary film about the spirituals, had its world premiere at the prestigious Rhode Island Film Festival in August 2008 and later was shown at the 2008 Hot Springs Documentary Film Festival. It is currently for sale or rental at leading video outlets. For more information, visit www.icantelltheworld.
Without the spirituals, there would be no gospel, blues, jazz, R&B, or hip-hop and rap. And though many of us are familiar with some of the songs - Wade in the Water, Go Down Moses, This Little Light of Mine, and Oh Freedom - few of us fully understand the deep history, complex origins, and coded messages of a music born in slavery.
I Can Tell the World follows members of an interracial, multigenerational choir committed to the preservation and performance of African American spirituals. As these diverse men and women share their stories of transformation, we learn how the experience of shared song can help heal a nation still wounded by racism. In addition, the documentary feature includes rarely-seen footage of Marian Anderson and Paul Robeson singing spirituals.
Can singing the spirituals change the world for the better? I Can Tell the World may convince you of this amazing possibility.
