The Canisius College Video Institute will premiere its latest documentary film, “Left Alone: Street Children in the Philippines,” today, April 9 at 7:30 p.m. in the Regis Room South, Winter Student Center. The event is free and open to the public. A panel discussion and reception will follow the screening.
The 15-minute film, produced by Erin Gaddi (MGT’14) and Gabrielle Walter (COM ’15), examines the issue of children forced to struggle for survival on the streets in Manila. The students traveled to the Philippines in summer 2013 on an immersion trip with Timothy Wadkins, PhD, professor of religious studies and theology, as part of the Institute for the Global Study of Religion program. The film was produced under the direction of Barbara J. Irwin, PhD, professor of communication studies and co-director of the Video Institute.
The award-winning Canisius College Video Institute provides students with opportunities to put their classroom lessons to work on projects that enrich their learning and benefit the greater community. Students produce social documentaries and service-oriented videos – all connected by the theme of social justice – to promote discourse on ethical, social and cultural issues relevant to the world today. The Video Institute is co-directed by Irwin and Jamie O’Neil, associate professor and director of the Digital Media Arts Program.
