"Around The Way"

"Around The Way"

Documentary
This DOCUMENTARY was created by a team of teenagers and adult mentors.

The original academy curriculum did not include a documentary. While spending the first few weeks building the skill sets for recording music and filming music videos, and also discussing the societal issues teen participants were concerned about, the topic of homelessness rose to the top of many discussions and several participants voiced their interest in pursuing a documentary video project. Following the interests the group expressed, the team of adults and teens came together to plan and produce Around The Way: stories of the struggle.
