New Documentary: For Others

It seems like only yesterday I was submitting posts every three or four weeks. Hooray for six posts in December (so far!). Anyways, now that the semester is winding down, I wanted to share a very cool documentary four friends of mine and I made for Prof. John Michalczyk's Documentary Film class. For the film, we followed four members of 4Boston for several weeks. A short synopsis is below. Thanks to 4Boston, and everyone at Jackson Mann for letting us into their classroom to film.

"In an era where individualism and the survival of the fittest mentality exists everywhere, four students from one of Boston's elite universities give up four hours each week to provide assistance for adult education. Each week, they give the men and women they teach hope by assisting in English as a Second Language and GED prep classes."

This film was made possible by the Salmanowitz Grant for Moral Courage in Film and Boston College.
