Remixing for Social Change

Just saw an announcement for the Remixing for Social Change contest. This has me thinking about a Lost Boys of Sudan Mash-up, a consciousness raising, nation building, social change project:

Mash-up the various Lost Boys projects and foundations--lots of video footage to work with.
Mash-up the data, e.g. 16,000 orphans in Duk County + X in other counties, because the call asks for real data.
Mash-up some of the health data, the school data. Need to track this down.
Mash-up the costs--the costs of building, the costs of maintaining, these infrastructure projects.
Mash-up people like John and Joseph and other others talking about what needs to be done in. Joseph has a great line about raising this generation to be equal to the rest of the world.
Mash-up some of the others we have on film: commissioner, Gideon Dau, footage from others?
Mash-up some of the great music we have, some of the children and women singing.

I'll have to see what the team thinks.
