Click here for HBCU Buzz’s first story about the documentary made by the students at East Baltimore Community School.
The East Baltimore Student Documentary was born as a result of Denise Parker, CEO of Fulfilling the Promise Consulting having a desire and passion to give back to the youth growing up in East Baltimore. The documentary project provided youth who were part of the Freedom Schools Summer project (through Elev8) at Collington Square Middle School an opportunity to cultivate the skills necessary to create a documentary. Students at East Baltimore Community School also participated in the project as part of the after school program also through Elev8.
Students spent 6 weeks honing journalism, interview, videography and film skills while showcasing key community leaders and landmarks in their East Baltimore neighborhood. This ground-breaking documentary will have its exclusive Baltimore Premiere on Tuesday, December 20th at the American Brewery, one of the key landmarks highlighted in the film.
