Upper Big Tracadie is a small rural African Nova Scotia community. For five days in the summer the children that call UBT “down home” collaborated with media artists to create a video that explores their community past, present and future. The children go on a hunt to find an abandoned playground and begin the process of figuring out how to get a new playground for their community. A song, written in part by the youth with composer/ musician Jamie Sparks, is performed by the Awakening Souls Youth Choir.

Mentors: Ariella Palhke, Tara Lee Reddick, Robert Smith, Lis vanBerkel, Ann Verrall and music/choir director Jamie Sparks.
