We traveled to Sierra Leone in January/Febuary 2009 on a scouting trip for a community based media workshop we have planned for August/September this year. We are collaborating with Arthur Pratt who works with street kids in the capital city, Freetown. 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.

WeOwnTV is a collaborative media project that promotes self-expression as a way to explore our shared humanity and bridge cultural divides.
