Iowa Stories and Lived Experiences (ISLE) is a multimedia documentary workshop seeking to build community through community storytelling. This 16-day workshop is offered each summer through the University of Iowa School of Journalism and Mass Communication. This year's project is focused on connecting Muscatine's surprising history to it's present, illuminating the way today's residents reinterpret what they've inherited.
This project was supported in part by a gift made in memory of SJMC alum, Bruno Robert Torres, and funding from the Kenneth and Muriel Greene Fund.
