Project Descriptions:
- A Place of Hope: The Atlanta Day Shelter serves women and children by helping them renew hope, gain stability, and empower themselves to leave shelter life behind and prosper in the community.
- Displaced in Atlanta: a glimpse into the memories of a family that experienced Katrina together. You will hear their stories of displacement and resettlement, horror and loss. This film gives a voice to one family that is a part of a much larger community. The community of Katrina victims displaced by Katrina into the Atlanta community.
- A peak into the life of Atlanta's Old Fourth Ward. It is a collection of old memories and new hopes for the neighborhood.
- A creative collaboration with the Boys and Girls Club of Atlanta, emphasizing the unique and often powerful voice of our youth through visual and written expression.
- Unidos Elementary students are learning in a very unique way. Taught in both Engish and Spanish, the kids are learning what it means to become truly Unidos.
- An exploration of Atlanta-based graffiti artists and their practice, which ranges from the harrowing fringe to more the mainstream and in-between.
Hope you can make it!
