We have produced a variety of instructional videos, oral histories, television programs, event recordings and documentaries. We are also passionate about seeing video used more frequently and effectively in training and education. To that end, Simone wrote a white paper, Educator’s Guides for two of our documentaries (The Life of Cheng Se Tseo and American Feud), and an interactive iBook with reviews of videos useful for teaching about mental health.
