A year and a half in the making, Virginia Voices incorporates crowdsourced footage, professionally shot pieces, and segments filmed by Virginians who were given a camera to capture their lives, hopes, and dreams. This new way of filmmaking reveals an unfiltered, sincere, and intimate portrait of Virginians today.
