In January 2011, Church World Service asked me to go back to Haiti to record stories about their blanket and food coop programs. It was a wonderful trip full of positive stories and hopeful signs. Here is the video the folks in Elkhart, Indiana put together with the footage we recorded.

Raise Your Voice

Posted by timfrakes | Filed under Africa, Carribean, Causes, Disaster, Faith Based Production, Peace and Justice

This is a music video in support of CROP Hunger Walks. Music by singer/songwriter K.C. Clifford. Following the January 2010 earthquakes in Haiti, I recorded footage that Church World Service used in this video. I even noticed a shot that Jim Quattrocki and I recorded in Tanzania more than a decade ago. Great to see this stuff put to good use!

Iraqi Voices Amplification Project

Posted by timfrakes | Filed under Causes, Education, Faith Based Production, Middle East, News, Peace and Justice, Travel

IRAPTeamphoto I am excited to announce that on October 1st, I leave with a group of artists for a three week trip through Jordan, Lebanon and Syria. Even better, I want you to come with us!

As part of the Iraqi Voices Amplification Project, Intersections International has brought together a delegation of creative artists, for a trip to meet with Iraqi refugees and various humanitarian agencies. We’ve created the Iraqi Voices Amplification Project Blog (www.intersectionsinternational.org/iraqivoices) to share our daily experiences with you. We will post video clips, audio interview files, photographs and reflections. You will also find complete biographies about the other artists as well as the history of the project to date. Please subscribe, check in daily and share your own reflections with us.

The Iraqi Voices Amplification project will lift up the stories of Iraqi refugees who have been forced to leave their homes and country as a result of the current “Global War on Terror.” The Iraqi refugee crisis is one of the most underreported humanitarian crises in recent history.

An estimated 5 million Iraqis have been displaced from their homes, many living as illegal migrants abroad, unable to work or access health care and other social services.
Intersections International reached out to us and we have all formed a group of story-tellers, dancers, musicians, journalists, playwrights and photographers to gain a more complete understanding of this crisis and then help tell the story. Once we return to New York we’ll craft a multi-media presentation about our experience. We hope you’ll join us for the journey. Sign up for the Intersections newsletter to get updates as we travel and about this project.

You can do even more with us on the trip. To help offset the cost of our travel, room and board you can donate to Intersections International. For donations of $50 or more, we’ll send you a postcard from our trip. For donations of $100 or more, we’ll also give you a shout-out on the blog as a project “Amplifier!” To support the work of Intersections International and the Iraqi Voices Amplification Project go to:
