[EN] Recently, EVC students attended the screening of Steal This Story, Please, a provocative and powerful documentary following journalist Amy Goodman, who they recently met in person at the recording of the War and Peace Report at Democracy Now!

The film dives into stories that commercial media silences, challenging power structures and showing our students how independent documentaries are powerful tools for social change.

[EN] Recently, our young producers at Concord High School in Staten Island premiered a screening of two powerful documentary films that explore current issues.

In one film, they examined the impact of ICE on families, while the other pulled back the curtain on the systemic failures of school funding for transfer schools.

This screening was an opportunity for EVC students from our in-school program to learn from their peers about using their critical voice through documentary work.

Kudos to them and their instructors!

[EN] April started with a powerful visit to Democracy Now! studio, where EVC students were able to see how news programs are recorded.

They had the opportunity to interview journalist Amy Goodman, exploring topics like independent media and the content of our youth films currently in production. Amy took a genuine interest in the students, asking them about their backgrounds and leaving them inspired about the importance of building critical and community-centered narratives, just as independent journalism does.

[ES] Abril comenzó con una visita al estudio de Democracy Now!, donde el estudiantado de EVC pudo ver cómo se graban los programas de noticias. Además, pudieron entrevistar a la periodista Amy Goodman.

Exploraron temas como los medios independientes y el contenido de los documentales que nuestra juventud cineasta está produciendo. Amy mostró un interés genuino por el estudiantado, preguntándoles por sus trayectorias de vida e inspirándoles a construir narrativas críticas y centradas en la comunidad, tal como lo hace el periodismo independiente.

[EN] Yesterday, EVC staff were at City Hall joining advocates, educators, and community organizations at a rally calling on the city to fully fund education.

Arts and after-school programs aren't optional. These programs are proven pathways to student engagement, creative development, and long-term success. Cutting them is a cost young people should not have to bear.

Thank you to Council Member Rita Joseph and NYC Public Advocate Jumaane D. Williams for lending their voices, and to the Coalition for Equitable Education Funding (CEEF) and the many organizations who made yesterday possible.

We'll keep showing up.

[ES] Ayer, el equipo de EVC estuvo en el Ayuntamiento junto a personas defensoras, educadoras y organizaciones comunitarias en una concentración exigiendo a la ciudad que financie plenamente la educación.

Los programas de artes y actividades extracurriculares no son opcionales. Son vías comprobadas hacia el compromiso estudiantil, el desarrollo creativo y el éxito a largo plazo. Recortarlos es un costo que la juventud de nuestra ciudad no debería tener que pagar.

Gracias a la Concejala Rita Joseph y al Defensor Público de NYC Jumaane D. Williams por alzar su voz, y a la Coalition for Equitable Education Funding (CEEF) y las muchas organizaciones que hicieron posible el día de ayer.

Seguiremos presentes.

[EN] Last weekend, EVC joined educators and community partners at the CUNY Initiative on Immigration and Education to discuss how we can work together to support immigrant families.

We co-led a presentation with our school partner, The Real Midwood High School, on using documentary filmmaking as a classroom tool for English Language Learners. It was a powerful reminder that when students tell their own stories, they practice language, and also build voice, critical thinking, and agency.

Thank you to CUNY-IIE for creating this space and to our partners at Midwood High School for this collaborative work and commitment to their students.

[ES] El fin de semana pasado, EVC se unió a docentes y socios comunitarios en la CUNY Initiative on Immigration and Education Conference para discutir cómo podemos trabajar en conjunto para apoyar a las familias inmigrantes.

Co-facilitamos una presentación con nuestra escuela socia, Midwood High School, sobre el uso de la realización de documentales como herramienta de aula para estudiantes de inglés como segundo idioma. Fue un recordatorio poderoso de que cuando el estudiantado cuenta sus propias historias, practica el idioma y también construye voz, pensamiento crítico y agencia.

Gracias a CUNY-IIE por crear este espacio y a la Midwood High School por este , on using documentary filmmaking as a classroom tool for English Language Learners. It was a powerful reminder that when students tell their own stories, they practice language and also build voice, critical thinking, and agency.

[EN] March is Women's History Month, a time to recognize women who have shaped history through resistance, creativity, and collective work.

While BIPOC women remain underrepresented among film directors (UCLA, 2025), at EVC, the majority of our educators are women. They're filmmakers, artists, organizers, and mentors who guide young people through critical conversations, creative risks, and the process of finding their voices.

Through their work, they show students that storytelling challenges injustice, art builds community, and women's leadership has always been central to movements for change.

We honor their vision, dedication, and the daily work of care and creativity they bring to our classrooms.

[ES] Marzo es el Mes de la Historia de las Mujeres, un tiempo para reconocer a las mujeres que han dado forma a la historia a través de la resistencia, la creatividad y el trabajo colectivo.
A través de su trabajo, muestran al estudiantado que la narrativa desafía la injusticia, que el arte construye comunidad y que el liderazgo de las mujeres siempre ha sido central para los movimientos de cambio.

Mientras que las mujeres racializadas permanecen subrepresentadas entre personas directoras de cine (UCLA, 2025), en EVC, la mayoría de nuestro personal docente son mujeres. Son cineastas, artistas, organizadoras y mentoras que guían a las personas jóvenes a través de conversaciones críticas, riesgos creativos y el proceso de encontrar sus voces.

A través de su trabajo, muestran al estudiantado que la narrativa desafía la injusticia, el arte construye comunidad y el liderazgo de las mujeres siempre ha sido central para los movimientos de cambio.

Honramos su visión, dedicación y el trabajo diario de cuidado y creatividad que aportan a nuestras aulas.
