8th Grade Documentary

Apple Computer gives awards for creative uses of iLife (an integrated suite of Apple's software for digital music, photography, moviemaking and DVD creation). A recent 1st Place Award was for the documentary Grass Born to Be Stepped On: Women's Rights in China.

For the statewide History Day competition, eighth graders from Mansfield, Connecticut researched the historical impact of rights and responsibilities, and then created powerful documentaries that combine drama with relevant photos, interviews, music, and narration.

The video deals with sensitive subject matter, and may not be suitable for younger children.
