Planet Classroom Releases Focus on Personal Growth and Stories that Feed Heart, Mind and Soul
New Podcast focuses on 3 films for youth - From Gangs to Gardens, Rhythms of Life and Luke's Black Lives Matter, and their different paths to healing.
NEW YORK, July 12, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- From beating drums, to powerful rhythmic words, to growing gardens, we all find a way to tell stories that develop crucial life skills for young people. In the new episode of Planet Classroom, Orb, the show's virtual host, is joined by three creators to discuss their powerful masterpieces which help others learn to prevail and heal through difficult times. International youth voices critique the 3 films. Drumming circles have helped Craig Norton, director of Rhythms of Life, find a musical connection with the world around him. Expressing our emotions and cries for change through poetry is what Luke Azille captures in his BlackLivesMatter poem. Finally, Director JLove Calderon and film subject Dr. Ietef "DJ Cavem" Vita teach young adolescents that growing fresh products is an escape from the turmoils life throws at us in From Gangs to Gardens. "One thing that I really loved about this film was how Ietef mentions lack of access, and it's really important to acknowledge but also about MAKING access through community driven programs like the grow houses, the community gardens, festivals, and most of all through the music," comments youth critic Mary Watts.
