From Young Filmmakers Across the Globe
Young people are on the frontlines of many of the world’s human rights crises, but it’s all too rare that we get to hear their perspectives. The second edition of Youth Producing Change shares 10 powerful stories from young filmmakers across the globe as they turn a camera on their own lives and share their visions of change. Film program run time: 72 min. Discussion with filmmakers to follow.
Adobe Youth Voices presents the London premiere of Youth Producing Change 2010, an innovative program of youth-produced short films from across the globe showcased at the Human Rights Watch International Film Festival. Ten films will be shown this year, selected from over 300 international submissions. Teen filmmakers from London, Mozambique and New York will be present to participate in discussion following the screenings.
Some of the stories shared this year include a young man’s journey to reconnect with his family after being orphaned by the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Mozambique, a teenager’s decision to continue wearing the hijab when she moves from Iran to the US, a look at the social implications of bottled water, young homeless people triumph in New York, child labour in Armenia and discrimation faced by young people in South London who are targets of arbitrary "stop and search" and ill treatment by police.
