Link: “Empty Justice: Crime on Montana’s Reservations”

Anne pro­vides us with this link to a mul­ti­me­dia fea­ture pro­duced by an hon­ors stu­dent at the UM jour­nal­ism school called “Empty Justice: Crime on Montana’s Reservations.”

In Anne’s words:

I was imme­di­ately drawn in by the sounds and text in the first shot, and I thought the young father who spoke on cam­era next was really com­pelling. I also thought it was inter­est­ing how this piece mixes audio, video, still shots, and text. Ultimately, jump­ing back and forth between these dif­fer­ent tech­niques was dis­tract­ing to me per­son­ally, and I’m curi­ous what oth­ers think. Would it have been bet­ter to choose just sev­eral for­mats and stick to them through­out the piece, or did this eclec­tic for­mat work for others?

(To clar­ify, Anne’s com­ment­ing on the video about the Blackfeet. There appear to be sim­i­lar videos for all of the groups and tribes listed in the nav­i­ga­tion bar at the top of the site.)
