 Several project are in development at this time including:


Secrets of the Inca Butterflies
 
Secrets of the Inca Butterflies - This feature length documentary is being developed with the support of National Geographic Television. The film explores butterfly habitat and behavior in five major ecosystems in Peru. The producer/photographer is Chip Duncan and Kevin McCarey is the writer/director.

The Milwaukee Poverty Initiative
 
This community-based project includes both public television and public radio components in an effort to address the challenges facing lower income residents of Milwaukee. For information, please contact Jessica St. John at Jessica@DuncanEntertainment.com. The project is being produced with the assistance of the Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce and Wisconsin Public Radio. Tentative broadcast and community outreach efforts are slated for the fall of 2007.


RWANDA: Genocide, Reconciliation & Hope
 
This multi-component project includes a two-hour public television documentary as well as numerous community outreach activities geared toward both the U.S and Rwanda. The project is inspired by the book Rwanda: History & Hope which is currently being authored by Dr. Margee Ensign, Dean of International Studies at the University of the Pacific. Dr. Ensign is also a consulting producer to the television component and will play an active role in community outreach. Comprehensive in its approach, our goal is to facilitate consciousness raising around issues of genocide and reconciliation. The violence and horrors of the 1994 genocide will be explored in hour one of the film as well as the history of Rwanda leading up to the genocide. But it's equally important to note that Rwanda today is a model for economic development and the empowerment of women. Hour two will explore the hope that has been restored in Rwanda and will look at ways in which Rwanda can be considered a model for developing nations around the world. In addition to the television documentary, the project includes a classroom component, community outreach in both the US and Rwanda, a traveling photo museum and a two day Open Space forum in Rwanda. Partners in the project include Iowa Public Television, Schools Online (a division of Relief International - RI.org), and Dr. Margee Ensign among others. For additional information on this production, please contact Jessica St. John at Jessica@DuncanEntertainment.com.

God & Science
 
Continuing in The Duncan Group tradition of using media - and especially documentary television - to explore matters of faith and spirituality, The Duncan Group is now working on extensive development of a 3-part series and outreach campaign featuring discussion of the role of science in proving (or disproving) the existence and nature of God. Development for this project is being undertaken with the assistance of Iowa Public Television. For additional information, please contact Pat Ostermick by email at Patty@DuncanEntertainment.com.
