What Happens When Refugees Tell Their Own Stories?

Over the summer, second year student Becky Palmstrom worked with Film Aid International in Kakuma Refugee camp in Kenya. Together with 30 young refugees from Sudan, Somalia, Ethiopia, Congo, Uganda and Kenya they produced four short documentaries about life in the camp. Becky will be screening the documentaries and talking about participatory video and its implications for humanitarianism and citizen journalism.

The event is co-sponsored by the Human Rights Center, the Center for African Studies and the Graduate School of Journalism at University of California, Berkeley.
