MTN has been a partner with Minneapolis South High since 1987 in the Voices program. Voices is a social studies class at South, but a vital part of that class is the partnership with MTN. MTN trains students in the Voices class in camera and editing, and the students make documentaries and PSA's on important social issues.
VOICES stands for Values, Options, Issues and ChoicEs in Society.
Here are this year's student produced documentary projects. Show 1 has two projects that look at addiction.
Show 1 Segment 1- "Meth"
South High students Amanda Eittreim, Kelsey Copeland and Allison Inglis interviewed professionals who work with Meth addicts as well as people who have overcome the addiction in this documentary. They added video clips from popular culture to help illustrate their project. They produced the piece with help from the Minneapolis Television Network (MTN) through the Voices program.
Show 1 Segment 2 - Video Game Addiction
South High students Sam Karns, David Kim and Arthur Noble produced this video about Video Game Addiction, an issue that they explore with humor and published reports. They made the video with help from the Minneapolis Television Network (MTN) through the Voices program.
