About bullyinworkplace

I am currently working on two documentaries. One involves both a traditional documentary about the devastating impact of Workplace Bullying and a transmedia project that turns it into an interactive web-documentary . The other more traditional project is about Maria Martin's groundbreaking work to train indigenous Mayan journalists in Guatemala who risk their lives to link their remote communities to the global dialogue. My documentaries have been broadcast internationally, and screened at major festivals including; HBO, PBS The Sundance Channel,The Sundance Film Festival, Human Rights Watch, Museum of Modern Art, Brooklyn Museum of Art,The Walker Art Center, The Warhol Museum, The Kitchen. 71 West Broadway: Ground Zero, New York, NY was selected as part of the memorial presentation at the Library of Congress, which has included it in the national 9/11 film archive. Portions of Invisible Revolution, were featured on ABC’s 20/20, Dateline, and HBO specials on domestic terrorism.

Three years, six weeks = One thousand, one hundred and forty-two days and nights!

IN HIS OWN WORDS: NY’s Study Bill Sponsor…

Here’s NY State Assemblyman Mark Schroeder talking about the Study Bill which needs to pass the senate in order to become law.

Study Bill moving through Albany & Illinois…

I first met Assemblyman Mark Schroeder in June 2008.  He was waiting for a House vote on his bill to study hostile work environments with the goal of stopping abusive bosses.  We all kept an eye on the vote board that hangs high above the assembly hall as Schroeder slipped out to talk to our camera.  The bill had already made it’s way through all of the committees with strong suport.  When would it come up for vote?  The clock kept ticking.  Pat, my videographer, and I held out as long as we could but finally had to leave in order to get home in time for our daily work-a-days.   Just as well since the bill never came up for a vote.  Schroeder reintroduced the study bill again this year and it passed the House and moved on to the Senate.
