Throughout the 1800s, Faubourg Tremé was home to the most prosperous and politically
active black community in America. Black and white, rich and poor, free and enslaved
individuals and families co-habitated, collaborated and clashed there to create much of
what defines New Orleans culture. Combining pre- and post-hurricane footage with a wealth
of never-before-seen images, Faubourg Tremé: The Untold Story of Black New Orleans is a
riveting tale of hope, heartbreak, endurance and haunting historic parallels.

The New Orleans Video-Voice Project - In Central City

The New Orleans Video-Voice Project aims to bring the voices and perspectives
of the Central City community to a national audience by training community
members to create their own media. Twenty community residents will attend
a 3-day videography training led by experienced filmmakers and local community
leaders. Graduates of the training will use their newly acquired videography skills
to create short films representing perspectives of community health issues in
Central City. The project will culminate in a community screening of the films
at Ashé Cultural Center. Our goal is to build capacity within underrepresented
communities and advocate for public health policy change.

The New Orleans Video-Voice Project was created by two partnering organizations,
Rapid Evaluation and Action for Community Health in New Orleans, Louisiana
(REACH-NOLA) and the Video-Voice Collective. REACH-NOLA (www.reachnola.org)
is a community-academic partnership dedicated to improving access and quality
of healthcare services in New Orleans. The VideoVoice Collective (www.video-voice.org)
brings academic researchers, filmmakers, technology mavens, social justice
champions, and community leaders together to improve the health conditions
of underserved communities through engagement in the filmmaking process.
