ON OUR SIDE: teaching documentary film to the children of
incarcerated parents
The Maysles Institute's On Our Side youth program is designed to address the communication barriers in the lives of children with incarcerated parents, by teaching them documentary video production skills. Our mission is to educate and enable our students to use documentary filmmaking to tell their stories, learn employable skills and share their creations with their family members and the rest of the world.
