One of the reasons I’ve been neglecting my writing here, and in the academic world, is because I’ve been exploring new ways of sharing and connecting over ideas with folk outside the worlds in which I usually write.
One fruit of that labour was The Ants & The Grasshopper. If you’re a regular here, chances are that I’ve encouraged you to see it. But if you’ve not much time to read a book, do you really have 74 uninterrupted minutes to watch a documentary?
Enter the very good people at WNET’s Peril and Promise initiative. They took the original film and re-edited five web-based episodes around it, perfect for classrooms, sermons, and discussion groups. Here’s a link to The Ants & The Grasshopper: The Series.
They’re free for anyone to use. So please do! And let us know how you’ve found them useful, or what else you need to get your discussion going? Our email address is change [at] antsandgrasshopper.org .
