The film Ward One: Reconstructing Memory captures the enduring memories of former residents of Ward One, a Columbia neighborhood lost to urban renewal, along with the efforts of faculty and students at the University of South Carolina to preserve their stories. It shows students in our Critical Interactives course building a mobile app that brings this past back to life. Although the physical community of Ward One has been lost to a university-dominated landscape, the spiritual sense of community endures through preservation of memory.
