Squirrels Stories
May 17, 2015 | Comments Off on Squirrels Stories
A filmmaker I know created an audio project about sharing difficult stories, and I thought I would post it here as her ideas behind the project connect well to our class themes. I wouldn’t say this is oversharing per say, but they certainly involve candor and breaking taboos around speaking about the body and other difficult subjects.
ABOUT: A linguist said “squirrels” is the hardest word in the English language to say. Squirrels Stories are audio portraits told in the first person about things that are hard to talk about.
The objective of Squirrels Stories is to use the first hand story to help us all walk in other people’s shoes, and to understand and appreciate the whole world we live in. These stories are beneficial to those who listen as well as those who tell.
