A Documentary by Sam and Kirsten Hampton
Sam Hampton
Project and film director Sam Hampton, the third of Elizabeth Hampton’s four children, brings broad experience in community service and social justice as part of the learning environment. Sam’s credentials include a master’s degree in Clinical Psychology and a doctorate in Urban Education, along with nonprofit organization management and leadership positions.
Kirsten Hampton
The daughter of a composer and painter, Kirsten Hampton is a published poet and writer. She has served as a senior administrator in higher education, and management consultant for a range of nonprofit organizations.
The real joy for producing a film of this nature is being a part of the social setting, seeing patterns of behavior, experiencing the unexpected, and capturing these moments on film to share with and inform others. In developing trust with others so they share what otherwise they might keep to themselves, filmmaking becomes a highly instructive tool on the lessons of life from past communities to the present.
