WIRED: Cash Rescues Eyes on the Prize
Topic: Miscellaneous 6:12 pm EDT, Aug 30, 2005

With a new infusion of money, the landmark documentary Eyes on the Prize is one step closer to educating a new generation of students.

The 14-part series, which chronicles the history of the civil rights movement in America, has been blocked from television rebroadcast and DVD release by a thicket of copyright restrictions on the hundreds of photos, music tracks and video clips used in its making. But thanks to a $600,000 grant from the Ford Foundation and a philanthropist's $250,000 donation, the process of re-licensing that material has begun.

"We're up and running and we're going to move forward with rights clearances and any production work we need to do to prepare the programs for public television broadcast and distribution in the education market," said Sandy Forman, a lawyer for Blackside, the production company that created the Eyes series.

AWESOME NEWS! Eyes on the Prize is an eye opener for those who haven't seen it.
