EVOLUTION OF PRISONS: The Background for Decarcerate PAThe first video in this series, EVOLUTIONS explains the facts and figures and the history of the prison industrial complex, and why Decarcerate PA wants the system to change. // A collaborative production by Art Factory, PhillyCAM, Decarcerate PA.
This summer, Art Factory collaborated with Decarcerate PA and PhillyCAM for six weeks to make three short stop-motion videos to help people realize the grand actuality of the Prison Industrial Complex. PhillyCAM was gracious enough to let us use their equipment and their space while we planned, filmed, recorded and edited our 3 videos. Decarcerate PA helped us clear up the clouds by telling us more about what they do as well as the political and community results and consequences of mass incarceration. We hope that these pieces will shed light on the current situation, and inspire people to join the movement to stop the prison industry and reinvest in the community.

TEXT:
Children were created to Live, play and grow, have families around, be comfortable and away from any form of fear.
Children were meant to dream and paint, to laugh and be innocent, to bring us joy, to simply, be birds.
and i hear the birds crying, reckless and powerless, angry and flightless.
their trees have been cut down, their forests of security have been burned, the shelters are destroyed, the sky is dark, the ground is hot. if i fly i fall, If I walk I burn, and If I open my eyes I cry.
I'm a million shattered pieces of pain, I lost my Mom, my Dad, my siblings, where I grew up, my friends, my school, my toys. and I'm left behind, I'm left.
It's the birds of Palestine and anywhere else in the world where justice has lost its forms and left us Children with broken hearts.
it's where I belong, to the flocks of the flightless birds.
they teach me strength, and I can only remember this:
"Time cannot break the bird’s wing from the bird.
Bird and wing together
Go down, one feather.
No thing that ever flew,
Not the lark, not you,
Can die as others do."
p.s: The ending is "To a young Poet By Edna. St. Vincent Millay."
Perfect MatchA young man seeking connection through Internet dating winds up confronting his own unrealistic standards.

LAMPlatoon Critique: Where Does Chocolate Come From?Ever wonder how chocolate is really made? It's not magic, as the students discovered who made this video during The LAMP's Chocolate Project summer program with New York Public Library in 2013.
This video was created by The LAMP as part of a media literacy program. It is intended as a criticism of and commentary on this advertisement. The goal of this video is to encourage and persuade advertising firms to make more socially responsible advertisements for children. The original advertisement itself has been inserted only to give context to the criticism. Insertion of the advertisement does not imply that the advertising firm that created the advertisement or the company whose goods and services are being offered for sale in the advertisement in any way sponsored or is connected with this video. In addition, any use of the company's trademarks is intended only to describe the mark owner's goods and services, and in no way implies the mark owner's support of The LAMP's videos, services, or mission.
The LAMP is a non-profit organization creating a grassroots movement to reform and improve media. This is achieved through free media literacy workshops and public events for youth, parents and educators. The LAMP's vision is that one day media literacy will be seen as the critical requirement to understanding the world and our place in it. Educated consumers demanding more accountable media will create a ground swell to which media companies will have to respond. As part of this movement, The LAMP works in communities to build healthy relationships with all forms of media.
Shots, I Think Not: A PSA from The LAMP and ISS (HD)This PSA about alcohol abuse was created by teens in Immigrant Social Services (ISS) located in the Two Bridges neighborhood of Manhattan, as part of a workshop with The LAMP.
Words Hurt Anywhere - PSA to combat bullying, bias and discriminationIn partnership with the New York City Commission on Human Rights, The LAMP held workshops with 20+ teens from all over Queens. This youth video project taught the teenagers about the media's influence in shaping perceptions and provided them with a vehicle to express themselves about issues relevant to their lives such as bias, stereotypes, cyberbullying, and other forms of discrimination.
These student-produced PSAs address the issues of bias, bullying and discrimination.
"Words Hurt Anywhere" centers on a group of students playing scrabble, assembling letters that spell out discriminatory and hurtful words.

Food JusticeRace, inequity, urban farming and the desire for healthier foods serve as the backdrop for
this short and informative piece created by SPNN's team of summer interns. Motivated
by their visit to Eureka Recycling in Northeast Minneapolis these four young women
producers asked questions about the importance of food and food justice. During
their visit to Eureka, they learned about the non-profit's community engagement and
commitment to zero-waste and local foods. This prompted a discussion about local
farmers and farmers markets and the people they see growing and selling these foods.
Why did none of them look like them (three of the four young women who made the
documentary were African-American)? After much exploring, they found some who did and the reasons why there aren't more.
