Mudslinging (Film Your Issue)
This is a film about how ridiculous the presidential candidates look when they engage in mudslinging. It doesn't happen anywhere else, so why should they be doing it? What is it teaching the youth of today? They need to stop bashing each other to try and get ahead and instead start to focus on what our country needs. My name is Julie and I am 17. I live in Colorado.

Who Cares? Homeless in Manhattan (Film Your Issue)
My name is Quincey Chapman, 15, and I live in Queens, NY. I attend Christ the King High school. My film shows footage I captured in Manhattan while accompanying my uncle who volunteers with an outreach program helping the homeless. This opened my eyes to such a big problem in a place portrayed with such glamour. I did this film to show people the homeless problem in one of the most well-known cities -and a city of affluence- Manhattan. The people I interviewed inspired me to tell their stories.
