We have just publicly released producer Naomi Ezquivel's college senior project. It's a few years old, but we invite you to check it out, especially if you have an interest in Chicago history! Let us know what you found most interesting.

In Back of the Yards Vimeo is the home for high-quality videos and the people who love them.

Many thanks to Jamila Thomas of the Women Divine Institute for having us film her inspirational presentation today at Harlan High School on the south side. Stay tuned for the finished video!

Selected screen shots feature camera work by Naomi Ezquivel.
