Freedom Hill’s Youth Media Camp is a 4-week documentary production program connecting NC students to Princeville’s Black history
Students will conduct interviews, learn oral history skills, explore archives and learn the basics of documentary filmmaking. The 2024 program will culminate in a short participatory documentary about Princeville’s annual Homecoming Celebration.
Students will receive stipends of up to $1000 for their contributions.
