Please Join Us For 10 Powerful Stories
From Young Filmmakers Across the Globe

March 10-11, 2010

Young people are on the frontlines of many of the world's human rights crises, but it's all too rare that we get to hear their perspectives. The second edition of Youth Producing Change shares 10 powerful stories from young filmmakers across the globe as they turn a camera on their own lives and share their visions of change. Film program run time: 72 min. Discussion with filmmakers to follow. Founding Presenter: Adobe Youth Voices.

What:
