Community Screening of "Our Backyard" Documentary |
|
Join EarthTeam at our upcoming Community Screening of the "Our Backyard -- The Richmond Greenway & Shoreline Teen Project," a short documentary film. This documentary was created by twelve Richmond high school students, who filmed footage
about their community and its history, particularly documenting the Richmond
Greenway Project, a multimillion-dollar project transforming a large
stretch of abandoned property along a former Santa Fe railroad corridor
into open space for the community. The students were trained in
videomaking and attend workshops with a community historian to learn about Richmond’s history. The
completed 10-minute film features a virtual tour along the
Greenway, historical photographs, and interviews with government and
community leaders. This event will be
held at the
Madeline F. Whittlesey Community Room at the Richmond Public Library
from 6:30-7:30pm on July 23rd.
The film screening will be followed by a question and answer period with the project's staff and student participants.
