The Open Letter Project (NMI 2008): Collective Communities
Produced by Tania Cuevas, Jamiah Adams (CA), S. Leo Chiang (NY), Tristan Ahtone (NM)
Created in partnership with PBS' Frontline series, this site is a place where citizen journalists/indie filmmakers can share their footage; a collection of relevant video content that can be presented to our new government. Socio-political/activist organizations can also use the content to represent issues relevant to their core mission. This site will be a place where communities of color can share their stories.
