Video: How No Strings started, From Oscar-winning filmmaker Daniel Junge

 

 

Apologies for the scratchy quality – we’ll update soon! – but we couldn’t resist posting this film by the wonderful Just Media, made during the early days of No Strings. Daniel Junge, who won the 2012 Best Documentary Oscar for his film Saving Face, was fascinated by how two of the key members of the original Muppet Show were embarking on work for children in some of the world’s most troubled places, and he and his crew spent a good part of two years following them. Their full documentary, excerpts from which makes up this short film, has won numerous awards.
