Seeking Participants for a Multiracial Identity Documentary in Twin Cities Area |
Mike Peden, a graduate of the University of Minnesota with a degree in journalism and minor in communication studies and an employee of the St. Paul Neighborhood Network is currently working on a second documentary about multiracial identity that will air on the station and online. This is the second part in a series of shows about mixed race. The original documentary was featured in the 2009 Mixed Roots Film & Literary Festival in Los Angeles.
You can watch the original documentary, What Are You? A Dialogue on Mixed Race, by following the link here.
Mike is looking for men and women in the Twin Cities [Minneapolis/St. Paul] area of any age who are of multiracial heritage. If you or someone you know has researched or participated in scholarly studies on multiracial identity, feel free to share those stories. He believes the best way to educate others on the facets of multiracial identity is having his subjects guide the storytelling, so the show will be presented from a journalistic perspective with minimal input from him during the program. His goal is to share professional and anecdotal stories with scientific research to provide a well-rounded forum.
If you would like to share your story, Mike can be reached by phone at 651-468-5451, or by e-mail at sportsbrain2005@aol.com.
