New Documentary Project Needs a Name!

Girl in Tire Swing

California Newsreel is at it again!

We are excited to announce a new documentary project about early child health and development scheduled for release spring 2013.

This documentary, multimedia project and public engagement campaign has grown out of our work with UNNATURAL CAUSES: is Inequality Making Us Sick?. It explores how a strong start for all our kids leads not only to better individual life course outcomes (learning, earning and physical and mental health) but also to a healthier, safer, better educated and more prosperous and equitable America.

About our working title AMERICAN BIRTHRIGHT

There has been some concern that this working title might evoke nativist, anti-immigrant feelings and is exclusionary.

What would you suggest?

Submit your title ideas for a chance to win 3 DVDs from the Newsreel collection along with a copy of this documentary!

To learn more about AMERICAN BIRTHRIGHT (wt) visit our temporary website at www.americanbirthrightmedia.org. Check back at the end of March to see the new site design and the winning title!
