The effect or lack there of mentoring on a generation over the last 20 years.
I have a hunch or maybe even a belief that the reason why we are in our economical crisis as well as other great problems is the lack of mentoring on the generation that is now leader. Over the last 20 years it seems mentoring and apprenticeship have left the world and people have been on their own to figure out life.
I would make a documentary on mentoring in the 21st century.
I actually started a project called the Mentor Me Project based off of someone telling me that the only mentor I could have was a text book. http://mentormeproject.com
It would be about education systems. What students of all ages, grade school, high school, and especially college level, feel is lacking and could be offered. As well as talking with post system young professionals about what they wish they had learned or experienced.
I would love to make a documentaries on college basketball arenas and the programs that play there. I love the history and all that goes with the great arenas.
It would be about the biggest death toll of any war since WWII – the war in the DR Congo. Been working on it for the last 4 years over at http://www.congocast.org!
I would follow victims of human trafficking to strip clubs, brothels and other locations…and then show where they grew up and how they were taken as young women and dehumanized. I wouldn’t sugar coat anything for the Christian audience because we’ve had enough sugar coating the need to stop human trafficking.
Preemies. My son was born at just a mere 29 weeks at 3 lbs 1.9 oz. I faced issues when we brought him home because people didnt understand that even though he was out of the hospital everything wasnt “normal”. It is a such a HUGE issue but so many people dont understand the emotional journey or how it changes life. At almost 3 he has blown the odds out of the water and other than being really little (just shy of 24 lbs) he is 110% normal with no lingering health issues. He is my miracle.
It was one of the most challenging trials in my husband and my life. And I know for me God is still teaching me things thru what we went through. I think educating people on how serious of an issue it really is ( over half a mil are born early every yr) would help people to understand and relate better to those who are on the “preemie” journey. Sorry if I rambled…God has definitely given me the desire to use my experience to help those going thru what we did.
I would make a documentary on the life and times of a prostitute. Like what decisions they are faced with on a day to day basis. I would also want to interview the girls and their families to see how they adjust to this type of life style.
I would like to document a few lives…say from Head Start age and follow them through various grades — looking for the dynamics of faith, environment, family as they reach young adulthood.
I would document the shift in roles of men in society. I am often reminded where women came from and where we can go now, but with this shift of placement, where now are the men left to be. Is there overlap with women’s roles, the retraction into a previously held feminine role or is there a new place for men?
To be honest I would do a documentary how the United States’ turn from God coincides with our misfortunes as of late. This country was founded on God and as a whole needs to come back to him.
I would chronicle all 76 days of my son’s life – right up to his death. And hopefully shed some light on just how important proper nutrition is at that young age…
I’m a dude…Actually a bi-vocational pastor…who is also a receptionist for an oil company… (save the jokes)
Anyways I would make a documentary of all the people who come into our office…I set behind my desk and don’t say too much and its ridiculuously funny how some of these guys act trying to portray themselves a particular way…
How the church went from having a moral straight line to the current “tolerance” of sin IN the church and how it has effected our families, our society…
I would make a documentary about the effects of sexual sin in the world, specifically the church. To delve into what seems to be a growing phenomenon in our Churches and the range of sexual sin that seems to flourish – from molestation, to promiscuity, to porn, to affairs, etc. I would also want to discuss how the church could better minister to those encountering any of these issues.
I have always thought an interesting documentary would be to somehow document someone’s experience as they enter into different churches around our country and see how they are treated in different gatherings of believers. This would obviously have to be a hidden camera of some sort. But then they could follow up with churches and discuss the experience. This would not necessarily be something to rip on churches but to help churches look at what message they are portraying.
I have always wanted to go to all thous bars no one goes to, little corner ones and hidden ones and talk to the old ladies that come every day and drink beer. Talk to the thugs, bikers, old fishermen, etc. That inhabit those places. I do ministry in a lot of places like that and my husbands family owns bars like these so I know the people are so interesting. They have great stories.
And I also would do one about people who game up during the Swaggart, Jim Baker hay days of the 80′s. I was one of them, became a Christian at Swaggarts and worked there for three years so I know there are some interesting stories there. Who they are now, how that time effected them. It would be interesting.
How much does race get in the way of success
(any race really). Which race is the world designed for & why. How racism affects the advancement of a social minority/group.
Runaway Pulpiteers.
A documentary on pastors,televangelist, and lay ministers who have left the ministry or the mainstream christian belief of Jesus is the only way, there is a heaven, and there is a hell. Why the left, what they believe now.
This comes after growing up watching many men of faith walk away.

This exactly. I see it in my own life as a college student–there is no one to guide me. Text books don’t count.
Text books repel guidance.

The truth about single mothers. Not the struggle not the hype not the hurt but the healing, the recovery the reason.
or…
Rainbow Bright, the rise and fall. (jk)
Single Mothers. Seriously.

The creative process behind big business marketing
I think this would be ver interesting, especially to contrast with small corporations or independent’s marketing processes.

I would wholeheartedly support this. This issue needs more awareness, and I’m super passionate about it myself.
“Born Into Brothels” was a good flick about that kind of thing. Have you seen it? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0388789/
How the early church started…really!
The good, the bad, the polity, the heart, the issues.

wrestling, what it takes to really participate and be successful in the sport.

a fat man & a gay man fighting to the death for control of a Church!
Awesome. I’ll art direct it!
Pfft! The lame Canadian boys stole my idea with their documentary, The Buried Life (MTV).
I’m such a hater. That was my idea like ten eons ago!
Love that show, my sisters turned me onto it.
Fifteen Percent –
An inside the kitchen look at the lives of waiters and waitresses.
What really goes on behind the scenes after they leave your table?
What do you really look/sound like when you act like a jerk to the people serving you?
What kind of power does your generous tip or lack there of have?
I was there (Cracker Barrel) for 5 years. This would be entertaining, eye-opening, and moving.
Hey C-
Will you pretty please tell H we miss her in blog- and were thinking of her and praying for her and missing her, oh I said that already.
Thanks much!

Documentary on girls and self-esteem struggles.

If I could make a documentary, it would be about churros.
How the church went from having a moral straight line to the current “tolerance” of sin IN the church and how it has effected our families, our society…
Ding-Dongs maybe, or possibly cheese.
I mean…who came up with the bright idea that curdled moldy milk whey would taste good and why?
Who were the first cheese taste testers and did they die horrible deaths?
