On the heels of the announcement of his latest project on TB, Nachtwey was a guest editor on YouTube.
Nachtwey has selected compelling examples from other YouTube users that exhibit the power of film to relate a story and spread the word.
To my surprise, my slideshow on HIV in rural America was one of the videos selected.
These YouTube users — by turning their cameras on subjects like the conflict in Africa, the human rights violations in Myanmar, and the HIV crisis in rural America — are following Nachtwey’s lead and, ultimately, are changing the world through the force of their efforts and film-making expertise.
The project completed in Spring 2007 was my first multimedia project. HIV/AIDS has been a subject I focus a lot of my efforts on and the stories of four people with HIV in rural Ohio started my series in the US.
