From the Wall Street Journal - 6-12-2007 - "A Cultural Conversation with Micheal Flaherty ... His Movie Company [Walden Media] is Far From Hollywood in Many Ways"
And I am quoting...
"But as a young adult [Micheal Flaherty] , he found himself working on Massachusetts education reform during the week and tutoring disadvantaged kids in Boston on Saturday mornings. When he could ask the children what they did the previous evening, it was always the same thing - watching TV or movies. But when Titanic came out in 1997, Mr. Flaherty recalls, they started telling him about going to museums to see exhibits about the famous sinking. they even took books out of the library on ship-building. 'I saw a big idea here.' "
