Hulu Doc**entaries that can educate, inspire and have an impact on Evoke Part one
Hello Agents,
I went through Hulu (Online movie & TV aggregator available in the USA) and went through their list of Doc**entaries and arranged them in categories that are relevant to Evoke and the goal of social innovation. I hope this can serve as a source of knowledge and inspiration. I will work on their TV offerings this weekend and post them in a different post.
Note- I left the Links long (did not use Tiny URL’s) because of a concern of transmitting malware using tiny url sites.
Namaste
