Daniel Karslake

Duke alum Daniel Karslake, '87, writer, director, and producer of the acclaimed 2007 documentary "For the Bible Tells Me So," will show a trailer from and discuss his documentary work-in-progress, "Every Three Seconds." The title is a reference to the fact that every three seconds "someone in the world dies from factors related to extreme poverty--30,000 people a day and 10.5 million a year. The sheer magnitude can be overwhelming, causing people to ask the question, 'What can one person do, to possibly make a difference?'"In "Every Three Seconds" Karslake profiles ordinary people who asked that question and whose work offered profound answers. "Each identified an issue that seemed insurmountable--and disproved that with surprising solutions, perseverance and a belief in human decency. Through these shared experiences, audiences will discover the blinding potential in each one of us to do great things to change the world."
