Description

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:

Benjy, a fourteen-year-old boy, is presenting his classroom video blog on the topic of respect. Through a combination of skits, group discussions, commentaries, and a short documentary, Benjy’s blog reveals how young people think about and practice respect for others. Benjy explores the idea that how we treat each other and the world around us matters. We listen in on discussions among young people focusing on their thoughts regarding respect. Challenged by an animated Mother Earth who thinks nobody respects her, Benjy narrates a documentary about an educational program in Georgia where kids are tackling the issue of respect for the earth through their own hard work.
