Best U.S. Video
"At Risk Students"
Jere Baxter Middle School,
Nashville, TN

"This year's Best Video award goes to a group of students who are remarkable for their honesty. Before the camera and us they tell us clearly and directly that they know themselves well and want us to know who they as well. They tell us that they are at risk. Too many of the world's youth are like them. And yet, through the simple act of acknowledgment, these young people stand up and out against a future that too many take as fate. These marvelous students strike back by saying to one and all that they will not fall prey to assumptions about destiny. They give everyone hope for a brighter future."

Larry Engel
