Imagine your children seeing and hearing your parents’ or grandparents’ stories about how they started a new life in a new country, the challenges they faced to get an education and become successful, or the most important life lessons they learned and want to pass on? By knowing our ancestors and retelling their stories—from well-loved family members to well-known community leaders—we strengthen our family connections and empower future generations. We also help people gain the recognition they rightfully deserve.

Once we relied on written letters, journals and faded photographs for recounting one’s history. Now technology allows us to preserve live images, gestures and voices too. However, while digital video is accessible to almost anyone, few can produce the work we do—professional quality documentaries of a person’s life like those you see on news programs, PBS, or the History and Biography channels. It’s what makes Vida Productions unique and helps us create a Vida/Life Story™ that is uniquely yours.
