Collier County Neighborhood Stories Project

Overview of Idea

Collier County, which encompasses the cities of Naples and Immokalee in the state of Florida, hides a very insidious secret: it separates families and deports hard working individuals. Our idea is to tell these stories to the general masses through videos that build power & change lives.

The Specifics: What will the $3,000 fund?

With this financial support, we will buy professional grade cameras and sound equipment so that our video quality improves. We also hope to purchase editing software, fund transportation to locations and support distribution costs. It is our greatest hope that in the future, we can create a full feature documentary of our local stories so that our local residents and others can learn more about the injustices occurring.

Amazing initiative! I hope you all the best- you all really deserve and need this! Out of all the top projects, it seems like yours is the one of the only ones that will give the majority of the money DIRECTLY back to the community instead of just on promos and organizational maintenance. I think your project really understands the power of a collective voice in changing the status quo instead of just MAINTAINING IT. Folks should definitely visit your blog- i really loved it! Keep up the great work!!!!!

This project is great because it sheds light on the injustices that are occurring right in our back yards. Collier County, while being a culturally diverse county, tends to suppress and marginalize individuals from various minority groups. Please vote and support this project!
