Breaking the Surface


This is a video entitled "Breaking the Surface". It's a documentary of the GET: Girls Empowering Together project. Working with 15 students from central high school, the young women were taught leadership skills and worked with community mentors this school year. Program was a partnership between Aquinas College, the GRCMC and GRPS.

Sarah worked with these young women to produce, shoot and edit this documentary.
