Flying Focus Video Bus - 11-12-19 (11-07-20)

Once again Flying Focus producers and other volunteers come out from behind the cameras to introduce clips from the shows produced over the previous year (Nov 2018-Oct 2019). The Flying Focus Video Bus premiered in November, 1991 and the "Busiversary" has marked each year by showing who's making these videos for social change and why they think the content is so important. This year of the 13 unique programs (made up of 26 episodes) there were two shows apiece, about Israel/Palestine, US policy in Venezuela, police accountability, and the wisdom of Rev. Osagyefo Sekou. The second show from Rev. Sekou's talk focused on his thankfulness that "Antifa Activists Saved My Life." There were also four shows about war and peace and nuclear issues, and one featuring Dr. Randy Woodley, a Native American activist/author who is also a Christian minister. --------- In the new two-part Twenty-Eighth Busiversary, producers Barb Greene and Dan Handelman introduce the clips with help from field coordinator PC Peri (who recorded all or part of 9 of the shows), contributing videographer Joe Anybody (whose footage along with PC's looked at the 100th anniversary of Armistice Day), and guest host Sam Bouman of KBOO-FM (who co-hosted a show about the civilian police review board having a finding affirmed by Portland City Council). Behind-the-scenes clips show the crew of the Busiversary to help demystify TV production and encourage more people to get involved.
