Update: Progress has been made!

Hi guys!

Alright, so we have an idea. Are you ready? Well, you better be.

So, we originally were trying to find something within the feminism lense. We were having a tough time finding something that we could focus on and document well. We couldn't quite settle on doing an issue such as catcalling or gender pay for our main story. SO, because we are geniuses who are interested in social activism we thought to ourselves, "Why not make our overall documentary focused on social activism?" Even better, we decided to focus our perspective on teenagers being socially active and asking the big question of why they fight. Since, we're probably doing a direct narrative then we can tie in our thoughts about this generation being transformative and active.

NOW, I know what you're saying "but what about the 5-minute excerpt?" Yes, well for that we decided that the excerpt would be a piece from the middle of the documentary about one of the social movements. First, we need to do some more research about the upcoming events for social movements that we could do. We plan on picking the movement that will be easiest for us to get a lot of footage and information on. Here's a short list of some of the topics we came up with so far:

1. LGBTQ Rights
2. Racial Equality
    -Within this section would be the Black Lives Matter Movement or the rise of Islamophobia and the activist response to it.
3. Feminism/Women's Rights
-Within this section could be abortion rights or other feminist-related topics such as, equal pay.
4. Ending Violence Against Women

We've done some research so far and we found out about the International Women's Day strike happening on March 8. The strike is called 'A Day Without a Women' and it will be happening on a global scale. There will be an event happening locally in Miami, however, there have been basic guidelines proved for anyone who wants to participate by the planners of the January Women's March. We don't know for sure if we will go to the event but we will decide whether or not to cover the event, we most likely will though.

Alright, see you in the next post!
