Spy Hop on TV is the newest addition to the Youth Documentary Arts Program. Spy Hop was able to partner with KUED to offer a special project, Spy Hop on TV, to eight, advanced documentary film students. KUED asked students the question “what does freedom (Civil Rights)” mean to you from as youth perspective? Students created four short films in teams of two. The selected film topics addressing this question include education equality, Salt Lake City’s refugee population, religious freedom and LGBT issues in the Salt Lake community. The four short films premiered on KUED on May 16th, 2011 and the resulting partnership has received positive feedback and praise from the community.
