watch this video, and get ready to be amazed by the pictures, video, music, and sounds of South Sudan. this seems like a beautifully inspiring, tragic - but hopeful project that will engage all of your senses. these are the things i want to make. these are the things that can be done with cameras! i love it, and can’t wait to get my hands on Milk and Blood when it’s released.
I recently launched an Emphas.is crowdfunding campaign with the journalist Alan Boswell for our transmedia book on the birth of South Sudan. We are trying to build a community of engaged readers to help us craft this book in real time over the next year. Please check it out and donate $15 is you are able.
