SDSU's Film it Forward Project
Welcome to the Human Right's class 'Film it Forward' class project on micro-activism, empowered by The Golden Opportunity! We want to see what can happen when people are given a small amount of money and a camera. We want to see how individuals choose to take small-scale actions and how those actions ripple out across the world. Our idea is that we no longer have to wait until we graduate from college, earn enough of a living to give back, wait until a family is grown, or retire so that we have the means and time to fulfill a dream we have for society or ourselves. We think we have found a way for anyone to do anything for each other. We believe this movement can change the world one micro-act at a time!
