Would less gun control result in gun violence? In my research and interviews, I found that there is not a way to stop the violence because there are too many guns out on the streets and people can get a gun from anywhere. To try to decrease the violence, we should put more money towards education, better after-school programs, and help ex-felons to get jobs.

This documentary specifically focus on the history and media's present portrayal of Black women in the media. This film is approximately 9 minutes produced by me, India Bouldin, at North Lawndale College Prep High School through my Senior Documentary Class with Free Spirit Media. This documentary is relevant, because Black women in history have always been seen in a negative light and affects how Black women interact with each other as well as how society's perceives Black women. After you watch this film ask yourself; Why is this a problem? Why isn't this ever discussed? How does this affect me? What can I do to help young women around me feel good about themselves?

Broken English? is a documentary that was created for society as a whole to learn and value different cultures. African Americans are an ethnic group that is stereotyped in America because of their way of speaking and their language. This film is to teach non-Ebonics speakers that Ebonics is a dialect that was originated in the south. I would also like to make Ebonics speakers aware that the way they speak has cultural value and is part of their identity. I am a senior and 19 years old. I made this film at North Lawndale College Prep High School with Free Spirit Media.

This documentary briefly scans/expresses the relationship between Japanese culture and Japanese animation. It's roughly a 13 minute documentary produced by me, Spencer Martin, at North Lawndale College Prep high school through my senior project documentary class with Free Spirit Media. This documentary is a relevant factor because it brings to light how Japanese animation, better known as Anime, reflects Japanese culture. People should be aware of other cultures because they connect in some way to their own culture. If Japanese Anime reflects Japan, does American Anime reflect the U.S?
