SIGHTS AND SOUNDS

Below are some
of the videos that have come out of our collaborations in Port. The earliest
date back to the year 2000, when the sister city program offered the
first video workshop for residents in Puerto Cabezas. (see program history). Since then we
have supported community video and worked with a variety of residents
to document life in the region and celebrate traditions important in
the
cultures of Nicaragua's Caribbean Coast.
