Every person born in this world has a coast, an edge, a boundary, a transitional zone between themselves and the world. --John A. Murray
The Shore Line is a collaborative online documentary, a collection of stories about individuals responding to the threats of massive development, destructive storms, and rising sea levels on coastal communities around the world. Producer and director Liz Miller will screen shorts from the project featuring individuals from Panama, Bangladesh, and Canada and discuss how the coast is a metaphor for new ways to thinking across countries and disciplines in search of creative solutions that defy traditional approaches or boundaries. The goal of the project is to create a dynamic educational platform to promote dialogue and push forward creative pedagogies around the environment. The presentation will be followed by reception to mark the Centre for Oral History and Digital Storytelling's 10th Anniversary--all welcome!
