Check it out! And many thanks to FAAN Mail co-founder Nuala for letting me know about it.

“Conversations From The Bench is a collaborative web-video series addressing important social justice issues in a participatory documentary format.

In Episode 2, we go “Under The El” in West Philadelphia to start conversations with passers-by about street harassment,“catcalling”, questions of having to grow up too fast, and if the way a woman dresses defines her…This project was a collaboration between four grad students from the University of Pennsylvania (located in West Philadelphia) and four West Philadelphia High School (WPHS) students as part of a class entitled “Social Change Through Participatory Filmmaking”.”

    Thanks so much for sharing! We had a lot of fun doing these episodes. The girls we worked with from West Philly High were enthusiastic, opinionated, and outgoing – excellent collaborators. Please let us know what you think!
