A chance to tell your issues to World leaders. VIP Jurists include Hugh Jackman, Colin Powell, Senator John McCain, and leaders in media and technology, the arts, government and non-profit.
Film Your Issue has relaunched its record-breaking youth challenge for short videos on contemporary issues that matter to young people in the U.S., Canada and around the world.
We are not looking for whiz filmmakers. It’s about your own voice, originality, and the power of your message. Even video recording on a smartphone is fine. We want to know what issues are burning for youth. We want to encourage young people to be involved in current issues, to understand that their unique voice matters, that their voice can make a difference, and that leadership is listening to them.
