Student Storytellers: UNC-Chapel Hill Partnership
This spring, Pacific Whale Foundation welcomed a team of journalism students from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to Maui, where they spent time in the field producing a series of short documentary stories capturing island life, conservation work, and the people behind it. The collaboration gave the students hands-on experience in visual storytelling while adding new perspectives to PWF’s documentary work. Explore the full project: malamamaui.unc.edu/index.html
