(Stepping out of my WMF tech role, wearing my ca.wiki volunteering hat.)
This Sunday the program "30 minuts" of TV3 (top TV channel in Catalan)
will broadcast a documentary about "Wikipedistes". Yes, it has a small
audience compared to US prime time, but in terms of Catalan audience you
probably can't go more prime time than that without being
''indecent''
or wearing a FC Barcelona shirt. :)

What is more important, this veteran program keeps very high standards
in journalism and TV reporting. The two previews being aired these days
are promising:

Any single editor appearing in these trailers has been already contacted
by friends and relatives ("Hey, I saw you on TV!!!"), and the ca.wiki /
Amical Wikimedia supporters can't wait to watch the full version.
The documentary will be available online. If it is as good as the
average "30 minuts" documentaries are, we {{Who}} might think of a way
to get it subtitled in English. They have an archive of programs with
English subtitles (see the first link), but with all the budget cuts
public TV is facing I don't know how much resources would they have for
translating "Wikipedistes", even if the idea makes sense. Crowdsourcing?
Anyway, more if/when the documentary is good.
