This talk by Jeff Skoll (former eBay president) must be the most inspiring event of this year.
I totally admire persons, who have become wealthy and spend it for good cause. I mean there are more people that have a lot of wealth and spend it only for their own dreams. Wouldn't it be great if you could influence the future of your society and the world in general, create awareness and give something back to the people who made you wealthy in the first place?
Jeff Skoll made his fortune as the first president of eBay. Now he's spending it at the movies. His company, Participant Productions, makes entertaining, issues-driven films that inspire real change — Murderball, Syriana, An Inconvenient Truth … Here, he talks about the people who've inspired him to do good, and about some upcoming films that will open your eyes.
