In April, 2014, Fine Line Films held a digital storytelling workshop for girls who are participating in Las Latinitas of El Paso, an organization that empowers young Latinas through media and technology. The girls watched and responded to Life on the Line, and through a series of exercises, produced their own digital stories about life on the border. Their stories were incredible, and after watching Life on the Line, they poured out. Here are some photos from our time together, and the girls’ stories can be found in the LifeLines story collection.
