Youth

In "Brooklyn, Home to Immigrants," the young filmmakers become the subjects in their own film and tell personal stories of how immigration has impacted their lives. This film was was created through PRO-TV, DCTV’s youth media arts training program.

It’s always a pleasure to hear about DCTV’s PRO-TV Alumni, many of whom came to DCTV as young teenagers, and are now college graduates and professionals with diverse careers.

A few years ago, while tracking down some of our students, I had the pleasure of connecting with Mohamed Zain, a young man who came to DCTV shortly after September 11, 2001.

Deshawn started as PRO-TV Student this year. He has collaborated with his fellow students on the experimental film, Words Behind Bar. Deshawn wants to let you know how important the PRO-TV student filmmaking learning experience is to him.
