Hi everybody!
I'm writing to ask for info about videos that can be used for teaching. One of my friends is looking for videos that have the following traits:

A. Cartoons of 10-12 minutes.
B. Touching or emotional stories of 10-12 minutes.
C. Stories of people who have overcome huge challenges of 10-12 minutes.

You can post links here or send them to me on the other side and I'll forward them to my buddy. Thanks!
sunshine

Hi sunshine...

I don't know if any of these will be what you're looking for but.......

Have you checked out some of the TED Talks videos http://www.ted.com/talks/browse The 10-12 min. frame might be difficult but you might be able to find something.

Here are a few of my favorites...

http://www.ted.com/talks/jacqueline_novogratz_on_an_escape_from_poverty.html

http://www.ted.com/talks/david_hoffman_on_losing_everything.html This one is only 4 mins. long but it's great

http://www.ted.com/talks/aimee_mullins_prosthetic_aesthetics.html This woman has inspiried me with my own limitations(?)

http://www.ted.com/talks/sophal_ear_escaping_the_khmer_rouge.html

http://www.ted.com/talks/rick_smolan_tells_the_story_of_a_girl.html This one is 25mins long (too long) but it inspires me. I also thought it might interest you given where you are.

As for cartoons.....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yu3MFGntkds "The Enchanted Square"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JN7Cch9nlKk&feature=related "Suddenly It's Spring"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TLfukPubTw&feature=related "Bottles"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cj0Y8jYM4WE&feature=related "Honeyland" (just under 10mins. but I still love it)

Can you tell I love the old cartoons? I hope some of these are helpful. I know it was fun getting them together!
