Educational Video Center
2006 Film To produce a documentary focusing on two Hurricane Katrina evacuees who relocated to New York: a single mother trying to find housing and employment and a young man whose post-Katrina confrontations with New Orleans police led him to become politically active. The film will examine the economic, emotional, and socio-political barriers that stand in their way as they rebuild their lives. The Educational Video Center (EVC) is a community-based media center that teaches documentary video production and media analysis to youth, educators, and community organizers. Through the process of documentary video productions, EVC students learn research, writing, and reporting skills, enhancing their capacities for critical analysis and creative self-expression. EVC is dedicated to the creative and community-based use of video and multi-media as a means to develop the academic, civic and work preparation skills of at-risk youth. New York, New York | |
