Raices Digital Storytelling Workshop
Young Latinos tell their stories...
This July, Latino teenagers from Hood River, Mosier, Odell, 
and Parkdale participated in a week-long digital storytelling workshop. They learned to share the experience of being from both the United States and Mexico, of being drawn to both cultures, and sometimes being excluded by both cultures.
Participants learned to write a script, process photos, record their own narration, and put together a final product. See some of their short stories here:
Yesi tells a story about her dad; how hard he has worked and how much he sacrificed so her family could have what they need. (6 min. 13 sec.)
Rocio explains how fruit gets from the tree to your table, and how migrant workers, even undocumented ones, are essential to the success of farmers. (4 min. 15 sec.)
Nubia & Kelsey want to know, "What's an Alien?" How does it feel to be labeled as an alien? What does it say about people in the US who would fence the border and shoot all who try to cross? (4 min. 11 sec.)
