The Children of Fogo Island
1967
Canada
18 minutes
“Witness some of the magic of Fogo Island, Newfoundland, as seen through the eyes of the children, and understand why its inhabitants cling to its shores. Challenge for Change was a programme that allowed communities to use film and video to incite social change, and to give a voice to the voiceless. Film production was put increasingly into the hands of community members, who both filmed events and had a say in the editing of the films.” (Keith Griffiths)
