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.
