Healthy Redevelopment VideoVoices

The Healthy Redevelopment VideoVoices Project is a partnership between teen residents of San Francisco public housing, researchers and students from the University of California, Berkeley (UCB), and other public housing programming staff and community leaders. With the help of UCB facilitators, teens conceived, filmed, and edited videos to tell the real story of their neighborhoods, as they have never been told. They learned to use Flip video cameras and FlipShare / Final Cut Pro editing software to capture their proud sense of community, difficult current reality, and dreams for the future of the neighborhood.
