Awesome!
These stories are so moving, this is truly a manifestation of what "new media" should look like. Beautiful job.
Great
Part This American Life, part film documentary, part photo essays. A method of storytelling that I've never seen before through familiar mediums. Love it.
Stories that hit you in the hart
Made by comitted journalists, obviously. Great photography, the combination with video and sound works great. These beautiful stories don't make you happy all the time. But that shouldn't be the reason to close your eyes. Just watch and be moved...
