About 15 years ago Mr. Platt made a movie called “Come Day, Go Day, God Send Sunday” about the role of churches and religion in the lives of Rappahannock County’s black families.
He has spent almost 30 years with the National Geographic Society. Prior to that he worked for a now-defunct animation studio in D.C. called Creative Arts and for a Hamburg-based North German TV network as a translator.
Currently his division is making a series of five movies for preschoolers and kindergarteners about recycling, the ancient forests, immigration, cell biology and World War I.
“These films we are pretty proud of, and in one year maybe as many as a million kids will be seeing them,” he said.“We hope that they’re entertaining, but that [viewers] do come away having learned something.”
The movie he will be showing Sunday night deals with South Africa’s awakening after 40 years of racial oppression. It follows the history of the black majority in that > country up to the present day.
