How do these movies resist the naturalization of the dominant perspective. How do they help us see from the standpoint of marginalized groups in order to gain multiple perspectives on issues and phenomena that appear as common sense?
I love these films. My three favorite films are: silence in black and white, the true story of the birds and the bees, and survivor of the twins. These teen-produced videos are a sneak peek into the lives of marginalized groups in order to show their certain perspectives on issues that they have personally dealt with. Since these issues are common among all groups of people, these videos become a powerful sharing outlet.
These films allow the freedom for students to voice their unadulterated perspective on issues. Because of this, they are impactful videos of human emotion and experience that any viewer would be able to relate to in some way. They are awesome videos. I love when students voice share their work like this.
Someday I'm going to take the time to watch all of them! What is amazing to me is that many of these are produced by teens who are not doing well in school!
