Young people learn how to tell their stories of change and courage through film, music and poetry.
"I learned that there are some people who actually give a shit". Those are the words of one student who took a leap of faith and participated in one of the documentary projects in this dossier.
By turning the microphones and cameras over to young people, Productions Oracle have created Turning Points and Focus, two documentaries that tell the stories of disenfranchised young people and empower them to create music, poetry and film. Watch how the act of telling stories about life, change, courage and success can itself be a life-changing experience.
The students' own music video shows the wealth of talent that was tapped during the filming of "Turning Points".
The process of creating the video was inspiring: People were break dancing down the school hallways; a music studio was created in one of the classrooms; guitar playing and rap took over the cafeteria. There was noise, laughter, and meaningful exchange. All that creativity and inspiration resulted in this professional-looking video, with a message that comes straight from the student's own experience.
