Voces de Cambio Visual Storytelling Project

Welcome to the project blog for Voces de Cambio's Young Women's Network. Based in Quetzaltenango, Guatemala, this blog documents a documentary video workshop held in the summer of 2011. For 8 weeks 15 members of our program learned to use video as a means to tell stories, creating their first short films in the process.

At the end of July we screened our films to a packed house, and rave reviews. We now have the Spanish versions ready for viewing, with the subtitled versions coming shortly.

Our second video of the week, El Tanque, or the Water Tank. Filmed here in Quetzaltenango, this ENORMOUS pila (washing basin) is a local landmark and everyone in the class felt this video did a great job of capturing the the long hours spent there by women doing their washing - not only how hard they work, but the stories that they share to pass the time and the closeness that this builds between them.

My favourite is the bit about highballs and champagne doing the body good.
