Very true, Andy.
I should mention here that although its not a Wikimedia community video, documentary filmmaker has a really nice clip on a primary school class in Peru which wrote the Wikipedia article for its village. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOUOnIabrRE Tec de Monterrey had the filmmaker (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Kleiman) present the entire documentary to our campus, but this clip served as inspiration for the Mati Wiki pilot project (http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Education/Countries/M%C3%A9xico/Tec_de_Mo...) which is going on right now. The project has my campus collaborating with three Mexico City primary schools to create articles and other content related to the "colonias" (official neighborhoods) where the schools are located, with Tec providing technical and other support.
So videos can have an impact!

They are rare because they are not easy to make!
All the more reason to make the ones we have easier to find!
