VozMob (Voces Móviles/Mobile Voices) is a how-to video about VozMob, a platform designed for immigrant and non-immigrant low-wage workers in Los Angeles. The video explains how the platform works and how workers can use it to create stories about their communities directly from their cell phones. VozMob amplifies the voices of the excluded by appropriating mobile phones for popular communication. In VozMob, citizen makers write their own history and strive to render visible the stories of those who are marginalized by traditional mass media.
