Mississippi Gulf Coast Youth Workshop
The media has neglected to tell Mississippi's stories from
Hurricane Katrina. As the next hurricane season approaches, Barefoot Workshops
with partners and sponsors including Canon Video, Canon Photo, Apple, Mississippi
Film Commission, and the Mississippi Department of Education, will be teaching
high-school kids in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi how to document and tell their
stories using digital video cameras, digital photo cameras and laptops. Students
will explore what happened during Katrina and how they coped with the devastation.
They will also consider what the coming season holds for them. What if the same
things happen? Where will they go? Students will ask these questions and more
as they make their way through the one week class. After Barefoot leaves, we
hope that students continue with their stories on the coast.
Apple will stream these videos on their website.
