Jaster82 writes "A new non-profit group has formed to help use video technology and community based participatory research to spread public awareness of issues within specific communities. This unique approach helps to utilize the expertise within the community by placing the cameras in the hands of those who know there communities best. The resulting videos and research are then shared with the public policy makers within the communities to educate and promote a true dialogue between them and the public who's affected by their decisions.
From the website: "The VideoVoice Collective is a health advocacy, research, and evaluation team that works to turn documentary film on its head. Using the videovoice technique, we put digital video cameras in the hands of those who know their communities best, assisting them in communicating their ideas and visions. The Collective is a team of researchers, filmmakers, technology mavens, and social justice champions. We are dedicated to building film-making partnerships with marginalized communities in the United States and around the world.""
