Prize Angel
I missed this. I blame it on being in the first year of law school.
The Ford Foundation and philanthropist Richard Gilder have contributed $600K and $250K, respectively, to rescue the civil rights documentary Eyes on the Prize from copyright limbo. Wired reported this last August. The money will be devoted to clear rights to the still photos, video footage and songs that are used in the documentary, as production and archival work on the material
Now, PBS has announced that it will re-air Eyes on The American Experience in Fall 2006. This is happy, happy news. I should program my TiVo, like, now ...
Thanks to K. Matthew Dames' post about this ...
