Content and structure
Scope and content (narrative)

The series comprises of a variety of audio and visual materials on the operation of the Soros Foundation - Hungary, including television and radio programs, news coverage, project documentation and documentary films.

The materials give an overview of the predominantly cultural and educational programs and projects across Hungary and in ethnic Hungarian communities across the border funded by the Foundation from the change of the regime until 2004. A significant part of the grants aimed at helping the deprived Roma minority communities through educational and cultural projects with a focus on kindergarten and school projects and the preservation of the Gipsy culture and identity.

The other major bulk is news coverage on the activities of the Soros Foundation and interviews with Mr. George Soros on his career and philosophy as a financier and philanthropist.

Notes

A few of the items are clearly unrelated to the Foundation and seem to be among the Soros Foundation's materials by mistake.
