There is a stereotype that teenagers are unambitious, confused, slackers, or worse. How many times have you heard someone say, “I just don’t understand teenagers today.”
The following videos will transform the way you think about teenagers. They will transform the way you think about art, and social justice, and gender and news and politics and the world.
Produced by youth ages 13 to 19 from around the world, these films get at the heart of what being a teenager is really like. Teenagers who care. Teenagers who act. Teenagers who create and thereby create change.
What will you see? Films that show the transformation of trash into light fixtures that are works of art. A Palestinian teenage refugee describing the horrific fire that destroyed the refugee camp in the Iraqi desert where he lived with his family for five years. The legacy of the graffiti artists of Five Points. The everyday challenges of a transgender teen. A time lapse film of the landscapes around the big island of Hawaii. Homosexuality and body language. Costar Rican Masks. Giving voice to flood victims in Sri Lanka. A documentary about the Straight Edge movement. How sensationalized TV news affects media literacy. These videos are from the future documentarians of the world.
This. This is what teenagers today are doing, talking about, creating.
Teenagers from around the world are driving positive change in their communities, and documenting the results. And the results are stunning.
It’s not that you won’t believe the extraordinary power of these videos.
It’s that you won’t believe they were created by teenagers.
Watch the videos. Vote for your favorites. Support the creativity of today’s youth.

“It tears my heart out. A crime against the art scene.”
“We was living…not like human beings. I’ve been living in the camp for like 4 years…as hard as it is, it’s not like Bagdad.”
