50. looking at schoastic site at board members
There's a John Davies listed as a private investor, so I googled John Davies. If this is the right guy he certainly sound like somene who could/would support this movie

snip: Current research, teaching and applied interests: These include:
1. Conflict and crisis prevention; conflict analysis and risk assessment; building response-oriented crisis early warning systems. He teaches courses and provides training in conflict and peace analysis and conflict and crisis prevention. He consults with the US Agency for International Development and US Department of Defense on development of their early warning and vulnerability assessment systems, and for the White-House-initiated State Failure and Genocide Early Warning Projects. With FEWER, he has worked to establish response-oriented early warning systems in the Former Soviet Union, including the Caucasus and Central Asia; West Africa; the African Great Lakes/Greater Horn; and South East Asia.

also googled univision it appears that Univision is a spanish language television station

UNIVISION

Univision (in Spanish, Univisión), the largest Spanish language television network in the United States with more than 600 affiliates, has historical roots in Mexican broadcasting. Since 1992, Univision has been owned by a consortium headed by Jerry Perenchino, an entertainment financier who once owned a New Jersey Spanish language television station. Twenty-five% of the network is owned by Venevision, a Venezuelan media company, another 25% by the Mexican entertainment conglomerate, Televisa, the largest producer of Spanish language television programming in the world.

DocuFest incorporates the MBC Archives into classrooms by providing online access to select documentaries and matching lesson plans.
