Vivan Norris, a documentary filmmaker, joins David and Rachel in the cafe to talk about her experience as a single mom living outside the U.S. , and that drew her to the story of Obama's mother.
The film Obama Mama about the life of Ann Dunham and her work with microcredit was the result. (Vivan can arrange for free screenings of the film for DA chapters and country committees.)
Vivan has begun thinking about a project centred on Americans who are considering leaving the U.S., or who have already done so, and has begun collecting their stories. (If you have specific concerns and a story to share, you can email her at vnorris@tulane.edu).
Vivian has also recently returned to an earlier project about Muhammad Yunus, the founder of Grameen Bank and a microcredit pioneer.
