Highlighting a wide variety of unique and model educational programs, this 46 minute documentary also highlights a series of experts in brain development, sleep, nutrition and stress. One of the key recommendations of the Council on Excellence and Equity to successfully close the achievement gap is to keep this issue in front of the public and within public conversation. This is crucial in order to invest communities in the whole child approach in a way that will encourage the needed in kind and financial support. With this in mind, the purpose for this campaign is to not only enlarge conversation about this issue at the grassroots level, but to create a positive, progressive opinion about how whole communities need to support this effort and particular ways they can contribute. The target audiences for the campaign are community business leaders, parents, legislators, educators and others who will be integrally involved. Just as importantly, we target the parents who need a variety of help and support in order to prepare their children for educational success. This part of the campaign highlights ways parents can access local support for their families and specific ways they can ready their children for school.
Awards: Partnering with all girl video crews, this one hour special addressed five key issues that affect young women: Body Image, Depression, Date Violence, Drug Abuse, and Teen Pregnancy. Research has shown that in third world countries, when young girls receive an education, and information about the choices they have, there is economic improvement within their communities. The "Girls: Challenges/Choices" project explores the aforementioned issues to improve understanding, empowerment and self-esteem among these girls. This unique and groundbreaking campaign has extensively involved girls ages 13 to 18 throughout New Mexico in the creation of all aspects of the project so the message is about teenage girls by teenage girls. Christopher Productions trained all girl video crews at five diverse schools in New Mexico (geographically, ethnically, and economically) to research and totally produce a video story about a particular aspect of BEING a GIRL in their community. Each school created a one minute and 30 second video about one of five major issues: Date Violence, Body Image, Depression, Teen Pregnancy, and Substance Abuse. These videos were then broadcast on local ABC affiliate KOAT during their evening newscast as a lead up to the full one hour program. To see these videos please visit www.yearofthegirl.com. Each of the all-girl video crews then continued their work and research on the issues and developed a three to five-minute video project that examined solutions to the issues in their particular community. These projects were then used in the one hour interactive television special. The live broadcast utilized web interactive text messaging as well as live "web cam" conversation in five remote locations.
This video media campaign documented and informed the public on the efforts and importance of removing Salt Cedar and Russian Olive non-native, water-loving trees from the Rio Grande Bosque.
