Mantis and Moon's Documentary "Wants and Needs" Now Available To Public Television Stations Nationally; Nature Documentary "Thunder on The Lake" Also Accepted for National Distribution

TOLEDO, Ohio, Sept. 22, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- "Wants and Needs," a documentary co-production between WGTE Public Media in Toledo, Ohio and Mantis and Moon Moving Pictures and Sound will be distributed by the National Education Television Association (NETA) for public television and has been made available to over 250 local public television stations nationally.

Furthermore, Mantis and Moon's third entry in their award winning, nationally distributed "Thunder Series" entitled "Thunder on The Lake" has recently been accepted by NETA for national distribution.

Co-hosted by Gordon Ward and Cap Averill II in Toledo, Ohio, Wants and Needs took over six years to create, and the series is based on the premise that certain cyclical economic trends are actually cause and effect, not coincidental.

"Wants and Needs" used interviews, coordinated by Laura Nowak-Glover from the Sylvania Area Chamber of Commerce, of the general public, economics professors and politicians in order to offer forth a proof that recessions and depressions are generationally driven and have been part of free market economies for hundreds of years.

So with this premise in mind, Mantis and Moon interviewed people from the greatest generation regarding their experiences, memories, and intuition for the economy BEFORE the economic downturn of 2008, then continued compiling interview and political footage throughout the downturn and the resultant governmental actions which happened thereafter.

"Wants and Needs" is not politically driven. The project is socio-economically driven studying only the generational causes of cyclical economic downturn, as opposed to the political finger pointing which is so prevalent these days.

In addition, as opposed to simply reiterating data regarding the issues and abuses which lead to economic downturn, "Wants and Needs" attempts to offer forth solutions for future generations.

Mantis and Moon is also the creator of "Thunder on The Farm" and "Thunder on The Mountain", which were also distributed for public television by NETA. Together with "Thunder on The Lake" which has also recently been accepted for national distribution, make up Mantis and Moon's "Thunder Series." "Wants and Needs" marks the third project Mantis and Moon has had distributed to public television through NETA.
