Rosanne Welch's video: 37 International TV Shows and the US from Why Researching Screenwriters Has Always Mattered

A clip from my keynote speech (http://rosannewelch.com) at the 10th Screenwriters´(hi)Stories Seminar for the interdisciplinary Graduation Program in "Education, Art, and History of Culture", in Mackenzie Presbyterian University, at São Paulo, SP, Brazil, focused on the topic "Why Researching Screenwriters (has Always) Mattered." I was especially pleased with the passion these young scholars have toward screenwriting and it's importance in transmitting culture across the man-made borders of our world.

I learned about it through an Italian screenwriting colleague -- Braccialetti Rossi and it's about a group of young children in a hospital and they wear red bands because they have terminal illnesses and it's about them banding together and being friends, One of the things that's good or maybe bad about what's going on with international television is that I believe we could air the original version in the United States and that enough people would watch it but the networks still believe they need to have an American version -- a United States version. I had to learn to stop saying that this week right because I'm in America right now.
