So Touching How Deaf Girl Learned To Say The Word BASEBALL
This is a beautiful short clip from a film made by documentary filmmaker Charles Guggenheim for the United Fund. United Fund was a community-based fundraising campaign that became the United Way. United Way is a nonprofit organization that operates in the United States and in other countries around the world. Its mission is to mobilize communities to address pressing social issues through fundraising, volunteerism, and partnerships with public and private organizations.
In the mid 20th century when this film was made, many communities in the United States had multiple charitable organizations, each running its own fundraising campaigns. This resulted in donor fatigue and inefficient allocation of community resources. The United Fund was created as a more centralized effort to collect donations, often through workplace giving campaigns, and then distribute those funds to various local charitable organizations and social service agencies.
The advantage of this unified approach was that it reduced the overhead costs associated with fundraising and allowed a single campaign to support multiple causes, thereby extending the reach and impact of donors’ contributions. Over time, many United Funds were absorbed into or became affiliated with larger United Way organizations, although the specific names and structures could vary from one community to another.
Today, United Way is one of the largest and most well-known charitable organizations in the United States. It provides funding and support for a wide range of programs aimed at improving education, health, and financial stability for individuals and communities. United Way campaigns continue to be a major source of funding for a wide range of local nonprofits and social service agencies.
As a young documentary filmmaker in the 1960s I admired documentary filmmaker Charles Guggenheim. Over the course of his long and distinguished career, Guggenheim earned numerous awards, including multiple Academy Awards for his documentaries.
Guggenheim’s work focused on significant social and political issues as well as important figures in American history. Some of his most well-known documentaries include “Nine from Little Rock“ (1964), which won an Academy Award and focused on the experiences of the nine African American students who integrated Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1957; “Robert Kennedy Remembered“ (1968), another Academy Award winner that was a tribute to Robert F. Kennedy; and “A Time for Justice“ (1994), yet another Academy Award-winning film, that covered the civil rights movement in the United States.
Charles Guggenheim’s documentaries have been praised for their storytelling, research, and emotional impact. He was known for his ability to weave together archival footage, interviews, and narration to create compelling narratives that offered insights into the people and events that shaped American history. Guggenheim passed away in 2002, but his work continues to be studied and admired for its influence on the documentary genre.
I will post other clips from this film in future presentations on YouTube.
