Videos about Human Rights from Wide Angle Youth Media

Posted on: 07/25/2011
Human rights videos from a local youth group, http://vimeo.com/wideanglemedia. My good friend Kate Bladow suggests: "Perhaps with the students' interest in human rights there might be a possibility for a collaboration or partnership? Or could it be interesting to have the students work on a series of self-help videos that educate youth & others about legal rights? I think that the students could come up with some pretty interesting videos, and as far as LSC funding, that could be a pretty innovative technology grant." TIGs aside, the underlying idea is a great one.
