Our reading on "A Singing Stream" comes from the following site where you can watch a preview of that film - and so many others!
http://www.folkstreams.net
"A National Preserve of Documentary Films about American Roots Cultures streamed with essays about the traditions and filmmaking. The site includes transcriptions, study and teaching guides, suggested readings, and links to related websites."
"Radio Diaries works with people to document their own lives for public radio: teenagers, seniors, prison inmates and others whose voices are rarely heard. We help people share their stories—and their lives—in their own words, creating documentaries that are powerful, surprising, intimate and timeless."
"Diarists become reporters of their own lives. They conduct interviews, keep an audio journal, and record the sounds of daily life—usually collecting over 30 hours of raw tape. We collaborate with each reporter, editing the material into radio documentaries for National Public Radio's All Things Considered."

Actually, the site has the whole film "A Singing Stream" - not just the trailer.
