A 10-minute trailer of Journeys of Reconciliation was screened at a fundraising event on March 9th, 2008. The event generated much enthusiasm and support, and we continue to reach out to our friends, corporate sponsors and foundations to raise the required funds to complete this project.
The final four days of filming will be completed in South Africa in June. The addition of historical footage and post-production editing is scheduled for June – August, and the documentary will be completed by September 2008.
Beginning in September, a team of educators from South Africa, Stanford, San Francisco State University, and USF will start work on curriculum development for lesson plans to accompany this documentary in the classroom. The curriculum will meet California Content Standards for Grades 10 and 11 Social Studies, and educators are eager to bring Journeys of Reconciliation into their classrooms. We are working with educators from the San Francisco Bay Area and Johannesburg to pilot this social justice project in their classrooms.
We are developing this website so that history teachers worldwide can download the curriculum for free and order the documentary.
