From the Nominator
In 1982, a group of like-minded people with revolutionary aspirations for what education could be set out to build a new way to learn called Wellington. Could the dream last? And what does it mean today? Wellington is reflecting on the ways that identity, community, and learning collide—and the results are impossibly beautiful. A series of three documentary-style videos were created to tell this story. This is video 2 of 3.
With stories of celebration, inspiration, reflection, and change, these videos tell the collective story of our community during an unforgettable year.
From the Judges
Not only was this entry informative, it stood on its own as a fine piece of innovative, cinematic story telling.
