An open letter to all those who made the smart choice and watched Avi Lewis' show on CBC last night ("The Big Picture with Avi Lewis Part 2 - The Root of All Evil - Is religion the root of all evil in the world?")
Dedicated to music, film, sport, world travel, a far more just world, & Bob
Dylan (not necessarily in that order), Mike is presently
tangled up in the blues (& joys) of writing his first book, an account of his
(and wife Sonoko's) 3-year trip across Asia.

Earlier this month I traveled to Sao Paulo and Rio, in Brazil, to participate in the Visible Evidence Documentary Conference. Invited by Concordia Communications Professors Liz Miller and Tim Scwhab to be part of their panel "Branding Politics — Emerging Forms of Distributing Political Documentaries", this was an opportunity to reflect on what we are trying to achieve with HelloCoolWorld and our work as idea distributors and net workers. (Or "discourse networkers" in more academic parlance!) Thanks to a travel grant from the Canada Council I was able to attend this conference and it was a real opportunity to think our collective project through in an inspiring setting.
Katherine Dodds AKA "Kat" is the founder of Good Company Communications and HelloCoolWorld.com. Trained in renegade advertising & branding through her work with Adbusters in the '90s, Kat's early induction into the possibilities of the web-world was inspired by the term hypertext, which she immediately found comforting. She is dedicated to cause-related communication and to the development and use of tools that promote democratic processes.

We at HelloCoolWorld are thrilled to be helping to promote the release on DVD of the film Winter Soldier. Described as one of the "most devastating anti-war films ever made," by Time Out New York, the film itself is both historically important and unsettlingly relevant to the state of the world and war today. But it was the DVD extras which had me thinking, again, about the power of documentary to not only to move viewers, but to influence participants.

It's a frighteningly busy week for us at HelloCoolWorld, we are in the midst of launching the promotion for a very fabulous film — Winter Soldier, and tying it in with our already ongoing promotion for Scared Sacred. We hope to do some co-promo for these films with the World Peace Forum that starts later this week.
