The Colombia Migration Project:

An exploration of the colombian migratory experience

by Maria Gomez

A series of videos describing the Colombian migration experience, framed by the voices and experiences of Colombians themselves

---

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.

Amount needed: US$2,100 for travel, expenses, and editing

Travel time: November, 2006 - February, 2007

Goals: 1 edited video interview each week for 16 weeks, Creative Commons licensed for educational and artistic use

A note from Maria's HMWV Advocate, Dave Huth:

Maria has valuable personal connections with this subject matter, and she's very good at the kind of interviewing a project like this requires. She's passionate about doing well, and I'm excited to see it be a success. This is a chance to document and distribute the voices of people dramatically affected by complex social forces.
