The quality
and creative know-how of the works expose inner feelings that are
usually never expressed by teens, especially to an adult. The films
and videos are deeply thought out, informative, intelligent, well
made, creatve works of art. Some explore topics like teen pregnancy,
teen suicide, safe-sex, abstinence and violence. Some are just plain
fun.
