Put This on the Map http://www.putthisonthemap.org/
In 2008-2009, a group in Seattle’s eastside suburbs came together to create the PUT THIS ON
THE {MAP} documentary. The project combined participatory action research strategies with
youth leadership and community development. The result was the completion of a 34-minute
documentary film in 2010. This link will take you to the group’s website, which has a brief
(and excellent!) introductory video, as well as information about the project and their “touring
company.” |
