Portraits of a Community - Soul of the City 2010

This film documents the 2010 Soul of the City program during which participants learned about the Vietnamese, Ethiopian, and Salvadoran communities in Washington, DC. The students used a performance style called "Playback Theater" to help them internalize and understand the stories told by guest speakers. The students also developed creative writing pieces, some of which they read aloud during a public event at the conclusion of the program.
