Bio: Kim "Peanuts" Best
I have worked as a medical/science reporter and editor for newspapers and health journals for over 20 years. Why move from print journalism to video? Video documentary work affords a chance to tell great stories -- like that of Bladenboro -- in a new way. This course is my seventh with Duke's Center for Documentary Studies.
Why Peanuts?
Despite having fallen on hard times, Bladenboro is keen to revitalize itself financially and has much to offer potential businesses. My video will illustrate this point by focusing on a specific industry that has recently established a processing plant nearby: Birdsong Peanuts, a "Beast of Bladenboro" Festival sponsor.
