Your task: Prepare a human rights video lasting 60 seconds (maximum to 100 seconds), relating to the topic of human rights in America. General suggestions: First, pick a topic, such as the right to education or black lives matter or the death penalty. Second, think of your strategy. Do you want to inform your audience on this issue or do you want to persuade them to embrace your view? Third, think of what images and music you want to help convey your point of view. Then you are set to go. For preparation of the video, you can use your phone. You will be graded on the content of the human rights video not on the technical quality of the video.
