Reel Health: Tanzania

Reel Health: Tanzania Promo from Reel Health on Vimeo.

Reel Health: Tanzania is a project of Remedee that explores how mobile technology can be used as a powerful storytelling and media-making tool in low-income and underrepresented communities around the world. [ThinkInnovation]

In the summer of 2010, a team of filmmakers trained ten medical and health students in Tanzania how to use cell phone cameras to document their lives and their country’s health crisis.

The videos you see here are proof that you don’t have to be a professional filmmaker to tell a powerful story, and you don’t need bulky, expensive equipment. With 5 billion cell phone subscriptions worldwide, mobile technology is opening a doorway for citizen media makers anywhere in the world to become agents for change.
