dba_andea (Audio Slideshow Research)

http://mediastorm.com/0024.htm

For this assignment, we had to look around the web and try and find an audio slideshow that we thought was well done or needed work. Intended Consequences, by Jonathan Torgovnik, is about Rwandan women who experienced the horrors of the 1994 genocide in their country. I feel like this one is well done. It is tragic, but also, uplifting to see how far these women have come since that horrible 100 day period, 16 years ago.

They had to watch family members be butchered in front of them, and then have another crime inflicted upon them. That crime is rape. Most of the women feel alone and unwanted. They feel as if they've lost their dignity and self-respect. Some even cannot bring themselves to love the children that is the product of that rape. It is a little long, but I think it is a good project. The music, photographs, interviews, graphics and video all flow together perfectly.
