ACMS Speaker Series
On the Move in Mongolia 
A multimedia documentary
Produced and researched by Shebana Coelho

Speaker: Shebana Coelho

5:30 PM, Tuesday - December 8th, 2015, American Corner, Ulaanbaatar public library

             There I was, an Indian woman on the move in Mongolia - and it didn't feel strange. So much resonated - especially the voices of other women - like Monjago, a herder, Munkhtsetseg, a horse trainer, Onika, a student, Amgalan, a language teacher and Jainaa, a singer. They made faraway feel like home.   
Sounds for these segments were collected on a 2007 US Fulbright research fellowship Produced for Outer Voices  (outervoices.org) which weaves unheard stories from remote parts of the world into contemporary media to educate, support and inspire others to action.
Story Consultant/Executive Producer: Stephanie Guyer-Stevens 
Producer/Researcher: Shebana Coelho (www.shebanacoelho.com) Additional Translations: Munkhzul Dorjsuren, Oyu Choijamts, Delgerjargal Uvsh.
Post-production funding by The Lucius and Eva Eastman Fund, The Shelley and Donald Rubin Foundation.
