Eric Byler and Annabel Park have started an interesting “interactive documentary” project on YouTube to cover immigration policy in Northern Virginia in a timely fashion - before the news gets outdated in the usual production process.

Here’s what it says on their channel:

This channel is an “Interactive Documentary” about the politicization of the immigration issue, currently being shot in Northern Virginia. We will be posting new videos in quick intervals. And we will respond to viewer feedback, including requests for more coverage on certain storylines, contextual clarifications, and even perhaps on-site production excursions. The aim of this documentary is to inform the public, and investigate alternatives to the intense polarization that is hindering progress on the immigration issue. Clips on this page will be shot and edited quickly by independent filmmakers–Eric Byler, Annabel Park, and Jeff Man–with additional production support from Tomiko Anders, Tom Moore, Harry Yoon and Zhibo Lai. Because one of the chief aims of this project is to elevate dialogue, comments that contain inflammatory words will not be posted. Please help us create a constructive, public forum.

Check it out and join the debate by leaving a comment.
