Episode Description
From growing gardens, to beating drums, and to powerful rhythmic words, we all find a way to tell our stories. Planet Classroom presents three filmmakers and their powerful masterpieces which help others learn to prevail and heal through difficult times. Drumming circles have helped Craig Norton find a musical connection with the world around him. Director JLove Calderon and film subject DJ Cavem teach young adolescents that growing fresh products is an escape from the turmoils life throws at us. And finally, expressing our emotions and cries for change through poetry is what Luke Azille captured in his BlackLivesMatter poem. We all take different paths to heal. In this episode Orb, Planet Classroom’s virtual host, takes us on a global learning journey to explore how these three stories and their creators can impact your life.
