Quote:
"In the two years of Challenge for Change, the filmmaker has called more and more on the participation of the people involved. Filmmakers deeply concerned with social problems are finding themselves becoming social animators. They are discovering the power of the process of filmmaking. The question now is, should the filmmaker become a social animator, or should social animators, community organizers, community development officers and local agitators become filmmakers? This has become quite a question of controversy in filmmaking circles, but Challenge for Change, in the meantime, is trying all the alternatives."
