Xeni Does Guatemala


Thar she goes, trailblazin' again. Today, Xeni Jardin announces the launch of BBtv World with a first installment that she shot in Guatemala. Xeni has been my friend since--eh? what is it? 2002?--and it's just so awesome to see her do so many awesome things. In this cabinet of curiosities, Xeni is a wonderful thing.

"On behalf of all my Boing Boing and Boing Boing tv colleagues, I'm excited and proud to announce the debut of a new series within our daily video program: BBtv World. This ongoing series will feature first-person glimpses of life around the world, told through the lenses and voices of Boing Boing editors, guest collaborators -- and through the people in these places, their own stories, their own way. When we can, we want to place the camera directly in the hands -- literally -- of the people whose lives, cultures, and lands we're visiting."

Watch it full-size.
