People Productions works with PeaceJam to record historic meeting of Nobel Laurates
PeaceJam, an Arvada based company that brings Nobel Peace Laureates and children together, hired People Productions to shoot interviews with several Nobel Laureates in high definition. Don Poe flew to Bali to run camera in interviews with Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Jody Williams and Betty Williams in Bali, Indonesia, Oscar Arias, President of Costa Rica in San Jose, Costa Rica, and Rigoberta Menchu in Gautemala City, Guatemala. Don is now editing these and anticipates the largest gathering of Nobels in Denver this fall. While mic’ing Desomnd Tutu, the Archbishop asked Don if he was trying to steal his wallet as Don ran the mic wire through his sports coat. Oscar Arias had straight talk about his dealings with the United States. Jody Williams, who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1997 for her work on banning land mine use, expressed how lethargy and hoping someone else will fix our problems will only lead to destruction. While shooting in Bali, Don was chased by monkeys, hiked many miles through rice paddy fields, dressed in a sarong to be able to get into temple and shoot the second largest holiday in Bali, and was able to scuba dive with a white-tipped shark in the wild.
