Description
The Hand-held: health and homelessness DVD anthology
is a frank and invaluable resource for nurses, doctors, social workers, policy
makers, social activists and patient advocacy organizations... and anyone
interested in how media and medicine can work together to change lives. Hand-Held
features over 100 minutes of riveting digital storytelling created by young
mothers who have experienced homelessness.
How do you take care of your health when you don’t have a home?
Through the I WAS HERE photo blogging project, STREET HEALTH STORIES and
UNEXPECTED, the people best able to answer that question – and to challenge
the circumstances that have led to it – are given the tools of digital
media-making to tell their stories and document the world through their own
eyes, using photographs, audio narratives and short videos.
