VIDEO:  Voices of Change : Youth Making Media that Matters
 
 
Argenis Herrera has been producing social issue documentary films for the last six years. Coming from San Diego's Barrio Logan, it is rare to find a producer/director that consistently turns out compelling stories about powerful community members in this marginalized neighborhood. What is perhaps more unique about Argenis is that he is only eighteen and began film-making when he was twelve. He hasn't been alone, for the last six years Argenis has been a part of the Teen Producer's Project.
