Academy Award Winning Film Re-released Under CC License
In 1997, Interplast, an international humanitarian organization providing free reconstructive surgery and improving healthcare in underserved nations, released a documentary titled A Story of Healing. That year, it went on to win the Academy Award for Documentary Short Subject. Now 10 years after the original release, Interplast is re-releasing the film under a Creative Commons license!
In a move that will openly spread word of the important work Interplast is doing, the movie is available for immediate, free download on Blip.tv. In the same spirit, the group's photostream on Flickr was also licensed under Creative Commons.
As Creative Commons noted, hopefully Interplast's understanding of the benefit to their work and organization, by as many people seeing the movie as possible, will encourage other great producers to do the same and further the proliferation of CC licenses.
