"We Own TV"

WeOwnTV is a collaborative media education project for disenfranchised youth
and young adults that promotes self-expression as a way to explore our
shared humanity and build a foundation for the future. Focusing on community
engagement, the curriculum balances intensive film production and computer
skills training with classes on storytelling. Ongoing mentorship along with
technical assistance, multi-channel distribution and the promotion of
finished work enables young adults to share their stories and ideas with the
world.

WeOwnTV debuted in 2009 by facilitating a month-long filmmaking workshop in
Sierra Leone, West Africa for 18 young men and women just outside the
capital city Freetown. In July 2010, fueled and inspired by these young
collaborators the doors of the WeOwnTV Sierra Leone Media Center opened to
provide a space to meet, create, procure professional work and to continue
their education.
