This flash web feature was my masters thesis at UC Berkeley’s Graduate School of Journalism. Through a series of photo-slideshows and interactive graphics, “Remnants of War” shows the increase in use of landmines in Colombia and how it largely affects the country’s innocent, rural, poor civilians.

I think the project took a few years off my life. Not only because I listened to stories of murder and misery, but because I was learning Flash as I went along. Throw in reporting, color correcting, and writing, and you have very little sleep for 4 months. But I finished. And this is the multimedia piece I’m most proud of. Spend some time with it. Human Rights Watch launched just the slideshows with their report on use of Colombian Landmines in July 2007.
