Video: Teen Filmmakers talk about Teen Pregnancy

All this month I am highlighting young people that make media to educate their peers and parents. This week we are looking at TILT, Teen Pregnancy and St John's Educational Threshold Center. With support of this powerful partnership a group of Mission High School girls are making a film on teen pregnancy. This project is designed to educate other teens about safe sex and the reality of raising a child. The film is written, directed shot and edited by teens and will be shown in SF schools.

Since the beginning of 2008 California's governor has been cutting educational programs and services. Supposedly this is an attempt to close the state budget gap. While state parks are being closed and educational programs cut the state has increased spending on police officers and juvenile correctional facilities. One of the programs that has been forced to close their doors is Street Side Productions. This is a program that teaches youth on probation professional video production skills.
