Welcome to the Neighborhood (Trailer)
While working in a low-income neighborhood in Pittsburgh, I identified that conflicting demographic groups within the community were making it difficult for social workers and community developers to help those in need. Without a clear understanding of the interests of the community, or even the major topics at hand, no one, including the community members themselves, knew how to get the community moving in the right direction. This documentary was created to help fill that need and certify that all voices within the community were heard. When presenting my research findings to the University of Pittsburgh School of Social Work, it proved infeasible to show the entire documentary. Therefore, I created this teaser to showcase the purpose of the documentary and get the audience interested in watching the entire documentary. Follow the link below to view the trailer:
As a researcher who is firmly invested in furthering the status of individuals facing difficult circumstances, the words of individuals like Jane Jacobs really inspire my work. While it is not the role of the researcher to bias results with opinion, what topics we focus on are a reflection of our interests and passions.
One of the parts of my work that I love most is the places I get to explore while filming. I would have never found my way to this spot without the community members who so proudly toured me around their streets.
