SUMMARY
Reflection
Through this experience, I learned I should advocate for the things I believe in. At first, I was very nervous to make a video advocating for Palestine, since its a very hot topic at the moment. I was even scared to talk about it during class in fear of relatiation. But then, I realized that I need to strongly advocate for what I believe in, and that I need to be more confident in what I believe in. And it paid off because I'm really proud of what I made.
Project Impact
If my project is successful, then more people will learn about Gaza and advocate for the Palestinans.

As I was writing my script I realized that my project had become the opposite of what I wanted it to be, an informational video. I don't want to just info-dump on my audience about this conflict, but I want to add a creative aspect to it as well. So, I decided that I'm going to be doing a painting and showcase my progress throughout the video! I'm not sure how big I want it to be yet, as I haven't bought the canvas. But I have the paint and a general design of what I want it to look like. Hopefully I can start filming this week!

This is the end product ! The video I made showing my support for the Palestinian people. I have to be honest, at first, I was very scared to show my advocacy because of how controversial taking a side seems to be. If you don't appear neutral than you're morally incorrect. But, after some contemplation I decided to actually make my video advocating for the Palestinians. I have been pro-Palestine since I've become aware of this conflict back in October. If I want to be a changemaker, I shouldn't shy away from advocating for what I believe in, no matter how controversial. Thank you for watching my video.
