We’re in Guatemala, filming an upcoming special about how modern development aid is helping 700 million people work their way out of extreme poverty — and we’re showing how non-governmental organizations and supportive governments are helping small farmers get into the production chain and join the global economy. Why just grow corn when you can take advantage of a goat reproduction center and get a little goat-dairy income, too?
In this clip, you can see the fine art of coaching people who’ve never been in front of a camera before. (“Ignore the camera and act naturally.”) But our friends did just great. (BTW, this is our first shoot with a drone. We’ve long joked about “calling in the Back Door chopper.” Now we’re getting those aerials. How did we ever manage without our drone?)
