Fiji, 20 January 2010 - At 9 a.m. sharp, the third day of the OneMinutesJr workshop starts in Namadi Heights, a suburb of Suva, the capital of Fiji. There is a long list of videos that need to be filmed today. Planning the schedule is the first thing we need to do and therefore we group the workshop participants by film topic and locations. Three films can be done right here at the workshop venue since we only need "neutral" backgrounds and no special locations. Also, for these films we need a lot of actors and it is necessary to keep the whole group together for this reason. The filming does not take too long and then we are off in groups.
David accompanies Naca (18) and Manoq (17) to a jail and a small village. They want to film their personal stories there, one is about juvenile justice and the other one about child abuse. At the same time, another group is taken by the second trainer to a home for disabled children and to a local hospital.
Junior (15) is wondering why he hardly ever sees disabled children in Suva. He has made some investigations and contacted a special school for disabled children. We go there and talk to the children, trying to find out how they live, what their dreams are and what they miss.
