Crossing conflicts in Syria Street - Tripoli, Lebanon
The document describes a proposed transmedia and participatory web documentary project called "Crossing Conflicts" that would document conflicts in Tripoli, Lebanon through illustrated storytelling. It would tell the story through the eyes of local people, and allow users to contribute their own video interviews, photos, and social media to expand the narrative. The format is meant to make policy reports and knowledge more engaging and accessible to general audiences by integrating different media like maps, animations, social feeds and user-generated content into an interactive documentary.
