Crossing Communities introduces a new multi-media web based project

marginalized women and girls in Canada and Nepal.

Pictures
of Self-Harm
This
20
minute video was
produced over a 5 year period. Women
who self-harm are the main protagonists, in the video they are both
interviewees and documentary artists in search of an understanding of
their own self-harming behaviour and society’s response.
