Publishing in moving pictures

Being an anthropologist, I have done a lot of research and published some of the research findings. In the process I have come across very interesting cultural practices as well as pristine cultural spaces in Kanya. These cannot be captured vividly in book chapters, nor journal articles. Therefore, I believe academics can make greater impact if they communicated their research activities through electronic media, especially television. Discussing the idea with one of my young and dynamic friends, he asked me to venture into documentaries and even went ahead to suggest establishing a local (Kenyan) documentary TV channel to air such works. His suggestion was that other academics in Kenya would actually see a chance to make their research works take their own life and animate discussions on various topical issues in Kenya and the region, from diverse disciplinary angles. Is this a viable venture?

I am proposing a discourse that is poised to propel an ideological movement well beyond the Parliament, the courts, police cells, the ivory tower and into political discourse, pop culture commentary, and workplace seminars. Discussing corru...
