The documentary will focus on the lack of youth services and transportation infrastructure in the town of Snaith and how it negatively impacts the children living there. It will aim to give outsiders a sense of Snaith's isolating effects in hopes of increasing investment in youth services. Young adults will be the primary audience through interviews with local teens and young adults, parents, counselors, and teachers. The documentary will be structured with an introduction, followed by sections interviewing young people around town and others in the community. The filmmaker hopes to advance their skills for future film studies through this documentary project focused on an issue they have lived with.
