Abstract
For two years between 2008 and 2010, I worked as a facilitator for a Philadelphia-based non-profit community media organization on a project where local people spoke out about the value of their own communities through the creation of a short documentary films. My job was to help community members tell the story that they wanted to tell, while ensuring that it met scholarly standards for historical and ethnographic research. In each of the two films the process revealed significant differences between community members regarding the who, what, where, when, why and how of representation. Each group had to work through these differences to produce a film that all participants could sign off on, or they would lose participants who felt that their voices were not heard and end up with a product that was not community media.
