Seeking interview subjects for a docu-style video project about housing discrimination in Chicago



My name is Zo Slater; I am a member of the Housing Choice Voucher Working Group, who is currently seeking interview subjects for a docu-style video in development. The project captures a collection of conversations with people that are members of a protected class sharing their encounters with housing discrimination in Chicago.  With this project, I would like to force the conversation of how members of all protected classes are exposed to housing discrimination, and get others to realize the importance of having these uncomfortable conversations  because the information you give, and how you deliver, and explain that information, has a profound impact on the way our communities evolve. The project will also have an emphasis on the mental and emotional distress injuries of individuals and families that experience housing discrimination with the long-term goal of advocating for higher claims for emotional damage in discrimination cases

With the growth of the Housing Choice Voucher Working Group, a group working together to create stable housing opportunities in Chicago and suburban Cook County, the timeliness of this subject couldn’t be more relevant, and I would like to stress to you that we plan to approach the subject with respect and an effort to provide useful information to our audience.

Interviews will be held at different locations around Chicago.

If you are interested in this project, please contact Zo at info@vennmedia.org
