ARLINGTON, VA (November 14, 2006) — Between them, Dale Bell and Harry Wiland have won an Oscar, five Emmys, one Peabody, and numerous other awards for their movie and TV productions. They've now taken documentary filmmaking to the next level through their Media & Policy Center Foundation. The Foundation's first project, And Thou Shalt Honor, addressed the overwhelming issue of eldercare in this country, and their second venture, Edens Lost and Found, tackles quality of life issues for American cities. But the films go far beyond the reach of the usual documentary, adding town hall meetings, local coalitions, continuing series of PBS broadcasts, and massive community outreach to accomplish real social change in critical areas.
