Mountain Workshops Focused on Berea
 | | Mountain Inside Out |
We are very excited to share with you the Mountain Workshops Documentary Project focused on Berea, October 21-26, 2014. These documentaries are very intersting, we hope you take time to browse the stories and indulge in the videos. Here's some background information to get you started: "Each October, as the leaves begin to turn, a group of visual journalists set up shop in a different region of Kentucky to document its life and culture in a way that is rarely attempted. Raw and live, it's all about the people, not the institutions. It's called the Mountain Workshops..." (Mountain Workshops, 2014, www.mountainworkshops.org).
