Producer/Director: Patrice O’Neal
Team: Kate McLean, Ann Bennett
http://theworkinggroup.org/index.html "Not in Our Town" (NIOT) is a national PBS series about American communities fighting hate crime. It is a documentary series as well as a campaign that combines public television broadcasts with grassroots events, educational outreach and online activities to help communities battling hate to talk to — and learn from — each other. At the Producers Institute, Patrice O’ Neill, the Executive Director of the Working Group (and series Executive Producer) brought associate producer Kate McLean and web designer Ann Bennett to build an online interface to connect the communities around the country who are engaging in this work. With support from Google, the team designed an interactive map with flashing hot spots in different colors, delineating towns where hate crimes have just occurred, and others where communities are taking action against hate. Clicking on a hot spot provides information about the crimes and activities taking place there. By sharing and uploading evidence of successful public activism (via cell phone, video or text), a town can convert its color and join the NIOT community. Other aspects of the site include a video advocacy toolkit, online resource sharing, and a national calendar of events.
