Folkstreams Documents America, An Hour At a Time (NPR)

From NPR News:

Weekend Edition Saturday
by Lynn Neary

Check out this Weekend Edition-Saturday feature about Tom Davenport, a former filmmaker and farmer in Virginia. He devotes most of his time to developing his Web site — Folkstreams.net, which aims to be a national treasury of documentary films about folk art and culture. So far, it's the repository for some 80 hours of films capturing the myriad worlds that make up America, from Italian street festivals in Broklyn to homeless San Francisco runaways. It's all available, free and at full length, at the Folkstreams site.
