How did you feel about using digital video as a way to craft and tell your story?
It is one of the easiest ways to express a story in an effective way. We spent only a short period of time in learning multimedia tools. But we learned major aspects of producing videos using multimedia tools. This learning experience built a confidence within me to create more digital videos in future. It was a great learning experience
What do you think is the power of telling stories through this method?
It helps to bring the hidden truths of our society out in an effective way.
Who have you shared your story with? What responses have you received?
I shared my digital story with people around me whom I meet regularly i.e. friends, co-workers, teachers, and family. They were shocked about the lives of widows in my culture and society. They liked the way I symbolically represent the story using various clothes and other accessories.
In what ways has the process of both creating and sharing your digital story contributed to change in you? (if it has ...)
I felt like I finally did what I had planned for so long to express the real story that I have been witnessing since my childhood. Digital storytelling made it possible to express it.
Do you it's important to connect survivors globally, and how useful is digital storytelling in this?
It is very important because it creates the feeling within survivors from various parts of the world that they are not the only people who are suffering or who have been victims. The digital story of a survivor with positive transformation in her life after suffering empowers other survivors around the world to make their lives better.
Is there anything else you'd like to express, about your story, about the process of making it...etc?
I went through the emotional moment during the process of telling the story and presenting it to my production group. I still remember those teary eyes while we were making it.
