Description

Six youth, two elders and five front line workers worked on the Youth Strengthening the Circle Project, a harm reduction project with the focus of prevention of diseases such as HIV, hepatitis and STDs. The youth trained with Pacific Cinematheque how to film, write a script, direct, act, and edit this video. The video focuses on the choice a young Aboriginal woman faces in going to a party or going to a pow wow.
