Resource Materials

In order to assist organizations with organizing community activities and media outreach around the broadcast, P.O.V. distributed companion resource materials, including: a discussion guide for employers, labor leaders, and community stakeholders developed by Outreach Extensions, and a policy guide called "Opportunities for Action" developed by The Hatcher Group. In addition, P.O.V. produced a companion Web site for the film — www.pbs.org/pov/pov2006/wagingaliving — which featured a podcast conversation with Barbara Ehrenreich and NOW's David Brancaccio (also available on iTunes), as well as character updates, a filmmaker interview, links to resources and a discussion board. P.O.V. also worked with educational media consultant Dr. Faith Rogow to create a lesson plan and the American Library Association to create a multimedia resource list of related fiction and nonfiction books, Web sites and videos. These materials are available free-of-charge online at www.pbs.org/pov.
