STREETKIDS BECOME REPORTERS

The project owner

Marieke de Lange

Project partner(s)

Location

  • El Progresso
  • Honduras

Goal summary

Under supervision of a professional filmmaker, street children in Honduras will make short documentaries that are broadcast on local television. The project will help develop both the talent and the self confidence of these children.

Project summary

By making short documentaries, the children will develop their creative capabilities. At the same time they will show the Honduran public what they are capable of. This is an opportunity to show a different side of street children, instead of the usual negative stigma.

How

Children will be taught camera, editing and interviewing techniques so that they can make short films to be broadcast on local television and online.

Why (Project owners drive)

Making documentaries is a good way to connect to other people's lives. I would like streetchildren to have this same opportunity.
