Journeys Through the Red, White & Blue, a documentary produced by a team of New York city youth of color, is specifically designed to address the interests and concerns of their peers. Blending humor, plain spoken language, civics lessons, and interviews with friends, family members, local political leaders and community activists, this engaging documentary puts a face on “the youth vote.” Following the stories of Brian, Shon, and Tidiane, the film offers three unique explorations into the voting process: on the balance between local and national politics, on the legacy of African American voting rights, and on the rights and possibilities for immigrant participation.

A film produced by high school students who participated in EVC’s Youth Documentary Workshop, 2008.
