The Youth Outreach program targets one of the most under-served segments of our community. 

Partnering with local high schools, approximately four films are screened at each location prior to the Festival. Students complete projects in response to one of the films (drawing, painting, poem, creative writing, or additional research on an issue raised), and then attend a panel discussion with the guest filmmakers. 

This program creates an opportunity for these students to experience the art and power of documentary film in a meaningful and interactive context.
