The heart of all documentary production lies in giving voice to the opinions and experiences to everyday people: weaving their stories into a narrative whole. Ms. Schoen has worked with individuals from a wide spectrum of backgrounds, from undocumented Salvadoran immigrants (Voices in Exile), to Russians living in Soviet-era Moscow (Distant Neighbors), to Blacks and Jews working together in the Civil Rights movement (Can You Hear Me?). The issues covered in her work include nuclear proliferation, physical disability, communications technology, genetic engineering, urban greenbelts and care-giving for the dying, to name just a few. |

This project was produced for national distribution by Oregon Public Broadcasting. Her last project, Heart-to-Heart: Caring for the Dying, won both the Gracie and Clarion awards for Best Documentary Series. |
