The miracles of agriculture

My professor suggested that I make an activist film, rather than a film about activists. I like her idea, but in a way I feel like I’m starting all over again. I can get videos, photos, etc. like she suggested but I don’t know how to use that to tell a story. I’ve got some thinking to do.

I just finished my second cut. I ended up scrapping most of what I had used for my first cut. I found this 1960s video from the Dept. of Agriculture on the Prelinger archives. I used pieces of it to book-end my film, to sort of be tongue-in-cheek. I’m not sure how effective it is, so I’m looking forward to screening the film in class to see what the others think.

I found out that the date of the modern day slavery museum has been changed. I’ve been communicating with someone from the CIW to see if I can go. Ugh…I hope it works out.
