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 6 includes documentaries on bicycling and mass transit.
