Historical Background Corridor of Shame Documentary
| Corridor of Shame Documentary |
|
The documentary, which premiered at the Columbia Museum of Art on April 3, 2005, has continued to exceed its original expectations to serve as an educational tool and to stimulate philanthropic, church and community support for the rural school districts of South Carolina and bulid public support for long term changes in the state's method of funding public education. In fact, the film has inspired hundreds of acts of generosity from private groups all across the state, including the “adoption” of some rural schools and the collection of funds, books, computers and materials to be used in Corridor schools. Corridor of Shame: the neglect of South Carolina's rural schools has received international and national media coverage on the BBC, NPR, CNN and CBS television networks and has been the subject of print media coverage across the nation. The documentary received six national awards for documentaries in 2005, including “Best of Festival” at the 2005 Berkeley (California) Video and Film Festival. Some 9,000 copies of the DVD are in circulation and the documentary’s website continues to attract thousands of vendors each month. For more information, visit Corridor of Shame.
