- 16. CHALLENGES 1. Change to teaching methodology and curriculum: community outreach before the art work 2. Understanding requirements related to creating original media work: accurate estimates of time and resources 3. Follow up: 36 individuals expressed interest in starting a film club but we were short on resources to properly guide them 4. We opened dialogues about “sticky” issues e.g. financial debt, environment, health, food and migrant workers justice, violence against women, First Nation issues and youth mental health but we could do better in terms of real engagement and taking the conversations to the next level to create system change.
- 17. Anna Genschow, Documentaries for Change Fellow, 2014-16 “This program planted seeds of positive change. I learned to be an "activist", to make a difference in community by helping to speak out for a cause or give people with little or no voice a voice. I learned to use media and social media to communicate more effectively. I learned about different organizations and understood how I can help them to promote their causes. I also learned that you can tell a simple story with a simple camera and that something as simple as that can be an initiative to bring about the change. Finally, I learned how to take a documentary I care about, contact director and organize community screening. Together we have more power than each one of us individually. And as one thing leads to another, I learned that I have a voice too, and as my confidence increased I decided I need to defend the causes I believe in and created a website! We can choose ignorance, and learn nothing. Or we can choose to learn something, and be proud of the diversity and knowledge which, in fact, enables us to make our lives better.”
