| Publisher Description: How can marginalized communities represent themselves directly to the authorities who control their lives? This Casebook examines an experiment in Vietnam, where Su Braden trained a team of NGO workers from four countries in the participatory use of video for community development. The team then worked with villagers to make video tapes about issues identified and researched by the local community. Villagers formed editorial groups to script the programs, direct the video teams, and check the editing a process which encouraged critical analysis of their problems. They showed the finished products to the Commune and District authorities, and to potential donors, with some encouraging and positive results. |
