COMM-400 Community Documentary: Stories of Transformation (3)

In this advanced documentary production course, students collaborate with a local storyteller within a DC-based, non-profit organization to produce a short documentary. Students also study the wider social forces impacting DC residents such as homelessness, gentrification and urban inequality. These resulting films become part of a wider community storytelling initiative at the Community Voice Lab, and can be used in public meetings, websites, and elsewhere to mobilize communities and empower the storytellers and organizations alike. Crosslist: COMM-600. Usually Offered: spring. Grading: A-F only. Prerequisite: COMM-331.
