New Brunswick Youth Film Project Encourages a Healthier Environment

July 20, 2012

Nearly 75 residents of New Brunswick got a sneak peek at the environmental factors that have contributed to childhood obesity in their neighborhood through the lens of middle school students. The screening of the Health HEROES Video Journalism project was one of the main attractions at the New Brunswick Community Health Fair held at Roosevelt School in April. The 20-minute documentary was created by sixth- and seventh-grade students participating in the Film Club@ the Hub and showcased the challenges children face when it comes to access to quality food and physical fitness activities in the New Brunswick community. The student journalism project kicked off in January 2012 on Martin Luther King Day. From January through March, students determined areas of focus, developed interview questions and embarked on a journey to nearby corner stores, a local farmers market, restaurants and a community park.
