February 8th, 2010 ~ Grandmother to Grandmother

John Ankele and Anne Macksoud, from Old Dog Documentaries are two “old dogs” who are worried about the state of our world and saddened by the suffering we see all around us. They join us to share about their documentary, Grandmother to Grandmother.

Anne Macksoud taught literature, music, and photography in the NY Metropolitan area during the 1960s and 70s. She left teaching in 1979 to start Leonardo’s Children, Inc., a Slide and Video Production Company. In 1988 Anne had the opportunity to collaborate with John Ankele on a documentary about various religious traditions, and they have been working together ever since. In 2008 they formed Old Dog Documentaries, a non-profit, 501(c)(3) video production company whose mission is to create films that inspire dialog and action on social, economic and environmental justice.

They join us on our show to share about their documentary, Grandmother to Grandmother. This film introduces two outstanding projects – one in the Bronx, one in Tanzania. The founders of these projects are finding simple and effective ways to support grandmothers who are raising grandchildren. Children who were “at risk” are now thriving. Grandmothers who felt hopeless are beginning to hope again.This film introduces two outstanding projects – one in the Bronx, one in Tanzania.
