Final Project Proposal

For my final project, I am going to do a video piece.

Ideally, I’d like to do my project on a particular youth detention center in D.C. One of the groups from the school, Community Roots, volunteers at center every Sunday. I think it would be good to interview some of the kids in the center, as well as members of C-Roots. I would talk about why some of the students got there, and what they will do after they leave. I would also talk to the UMD professor that acts as a correspondent to the program, Solomon Comissiong. I would also like to talk to a sociology professor about young people imprisoned, whether the number is increasing or decreasing, and what the suspected causes are.

Runtime for the piece would probably be 4-6 minutes.

Headline: First Strike, but a Second Chance
