It might indeed be interesting. It might also have a development
timeline of 1 year+ and consume many thousands of dollar$ and hundreds
of hours of work. If we're not careful, at the end of the process it's
quite possible to end up with something that makes people shrug.

Don't get me wrong, Sy, it could make a worthy documentary, but it's
easy to underestimate the relentless hard work and heaps of dough it
takes to make a /good/ documentary. (and that's the only kind I'd want
to be involved in)
Packaging (or even producing) fun video clips of guest speakers is
another thing altogether.
