This was the assignment (from the website):
"Produce a piece that empowers an underrepresented community to tell its own story to the world. First, choose a group of people that are rarely covered by the traditional media. Then let them use the camera to document their own lives, and to tell their own story. It's up to each individual reporter to collect the footage captured by the members of this group, and to weave that material into your own reporting to create a compelling and unique story."
In the short video presentation above, Perez thought it best for much or the camera work to be done by the residents themselves to see the world through their eyes. Sure, the footage is not perfect, but it works. It has an organic "real" feel to it. Stick with this to hear some really good bits at the end. This is a good story, inspiring message.
