Daniel Swart, an AERO intern, put together a short documentary (free video below) on the 2006 International Democratic Education Conference (IDEC) held in Sydney, Australia.  The documentary comes from about three hours of video that Jerry Mintz shot there. It really gives the flavor of the IDEC. It has shots of the school and surroundings, including the Sydney skyline at dawn. It also has scenes of basketball, the picture displays, kid introductions, Internet session, Korean and Nepali dancing, Japanese singing and piano, kids baseball with cricket sticks, the anti-war slide show, group singing, meetings, etc.  To order this DVD, visit www.educationrevolution.org/idec2006dvd.html
