Documentary films will not change the world but they can and do raise awareness and inspire us to realize what is possible and worth fighting for. Filmmakers need more resources and less opposition and inhibiting costs from a restrictive rights culture.

Filmmaker Peter Wintonick (Manufacturing Consent and other films) calls on all media workers to promote the new digital revolution. He calls for a fight against the "apocalyptic, mega-media locusts; old Hollywood; old Fictive Fantasy; Old Reality; Old News: Old World, Old Vision; Old In-humedia: Old Disembodied corporate dreams."

He wants a "multi-logue" not a monologue.

And so do many of us.
