What is Open Shutters?


Where are you now?
Where do you hope to be?

We have created a video booth to collect the stories of the people of the Gulf Coast who are rebuilding their lives in the aftermath of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Inside the booth, your testimony will be recorded to video and the clip will be posted online within 24 hours. It’s your story to tell - we place absolutely no restriction on what can, or cannot be said and no one will ever edit your voice.
