We traveled to Sierra Leone in January/February 2009 on a scouting trip for a community based media workshop we have planned for August/September this year. This clip is an introduction to Arthur Pratt. We were impressed and moved by the work he was doing with street kids in the capital city, Freetown. We are now working together to plan the WeOwnTV workshop. We will be training a group of Sierra Leonean young adults in film/video and storytelling. WeOwnTV has engaged a wide range of participants from young media professionals and students, to ex-combatant, street kids and child prostitutes. The program involves a community-engaged curriculum in which project participants will collaboratively create and produce their own independent media.
