After research and interview instruction, the students drew out the A-generation participant\u2019s story of escape which was told through their then-childlike eyes, including through the prop of an item what they brought along with them on the escape journey. Through production of the 3-minute films, 12-18-year-olds learned of our collective history and owned the stories through the&nbsp;video production process, resulting in broadcast-quality production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The presentation walks through the practical aspects of collecting these stories in a school break production format for high school students (a tricky population!), ensuring that both long form interviews and audio-visual portrait pieces find preservation, the latter of which can better align with a faster paced or bite sized experience as interstitials or into museum exhibition.
