Sean Kafer (Teaching Faculty II, FVANG; Program Director, docUWM) spoke to Wisconsin Public Radio about his new documentary, “Brady Street: A Portrait of a Neighborhood.”

The project was conceived to get students out into the community and to honor the area’s rich, multi-cultural history. Over the last few years, more than 80 students participated in the production, taking on tasks such as interviewing Brady Street residents, doing historical research, and documenting narratives.

“Because it’s so condensed and there’s so much variety of things to do in this neighborhood, people just know each other,” says Kafer in the article. “There’s that warmth and community that you just really feel.”
