(2017·河南郑州高中毕业年级第二次质量预测)

Now that newsrooms are becoming less popular in the US，young people have begun

to tell their own stories.

GlobalGirl Media，a non­profit organization that teaches teenage girls digital

storytelling skills，was started by awardwinning filmmakers Amie Williams and Meena Nanji in Los Angeles in 2010.

“By giving girls a voice，you introduce a different story，and change the

existing one，” said Danny Glover，a member of the GlobalGirl Media advisory board.

“When the camera’s in my hands，I feel like I can’t lose，” said Cheyenne

Grisez,14.“It makes me happy and I feel like I can do anything.”

On the final day of the summer academy in California，Williams worked with Grisez

and Camila Prado,15，on a short film about Prado’s fight against an eating

disorder.In the film，Prado bravely interviewed her parents and sister about how

she was able to beat her depression and eating disorder.This film and others the

girls had made were shown to parents and friends on the last day of the academy，celebrating their hard work.

“It’s their story，and nobody knows how to tell it better than they do，”

Williams said.

“These girls are from really difficult backgrounds.They feel trapped

sometimes.They feel alone，” Williams said.“The camera gives them a way to look

at their world in a different way and get out of that feeling.”

Girls in the program practice their skills and build confidence by going out

in the community and interviewing people for the short films.Many of them had no

experience，but they had good storytelling skills.

“I work with these girls.Every day I leave inspired and completely grateful，because I know that due to the work we’re doing with them，things will be better，”

said GlobalGirl Media summer academy project director Heather Faison.
