HMWV: Columbia Migration Project

 

This month's HaveMoneyWillVlog.com project explores an interesting and important documentary about the forces that effect peoples' lives.  Please check out this promo and consider supporting personal media makers like Maria...

Economic crisis and globalization are putting unprecedented pressure on the lives of people in Colombia. Ten percent of the population have emigrated, many to the United States. Maria Gomez, a Colombian resident of New York City, has begun a video documentary project interviewing other Colombian people affected by this period of social upheaval and change.

Maria, who is trained in ethnographic data collection for anthropological research, has already interviewed many in the Colombian immigrant community of New York. She needs financial backing for a 4 month trip through Colombia gathering the stories of those still waiting to make the journey North.
