If you knew your neighbours' stories, would you relate to them differently?

That's the question at the core of a new multi-platform web project, Inside Stories, dedicated to Vancouver's South Hill neighbourhood, a diverse community whose residents have lived isolated from each other in part due to the many different languages they speak. The idea for the project came from a group of neighbours dedicated to breaking down barriers between each other.

When documentary film maker Nettie Wild was first approached to do a documentary about South Hill, she wasn't convinced film was the right medium to tell the story.
