An ambitious project bringing up the circumstance that for the first time in human history more people live in urban spaces than in rural areas. It is still work in progress and there is not much to see beside a trailer, but it is woth to keep an eye on that.
Another very ambitious project by NFB covering the Great Lakes and it’s changes in water quality and it’s effects. Crazy flash animations and an important topic.
A combination of stories from different places and facts behind the 2004 Tsunami. A very good combination in my opinion as it brings the people affected by it upclose and personal with providing the needed background information of what happend five years ago. Done by Reuters, Red Cross in collaboration with the Mediastorm masterminds.

A nice compiled report on the situation in Darfur with background information, history and actual stories.
A great ongoing multmedia project by the NY Times, showcasing the lifes of different people in New York. Beautiful and diverse.
A project about the families impacted by North Carolina’s immigration policies. Not as fancy made with big flash animations as some of the others, but very moving.
A project covering the important, but often forgotten topic of sexual violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo. I don’t really like the voiceovers and would have liked to hear the peoples voices, but the story is disturbing and needs to be told.
Last but not least one of my favorite projects for the last year and always worth to check out is Condition: Critical by MSF also about the situation in the DR Congo. I wrote about it before, but as it is always updated with new information and testimony as right now with new soundslides with the stories of affected people, done by the guys from duckrabbit. A project any NGO should look at!
