As a documentarian, I seek to learn and document social issues within Bethlehem. Specifically, the “food desert” within the city, where residents are lacking fresh meats and produce where they live, having to drive outside the city to access these necessities. I want to investigate why it is that way, the effects of the problem, and what’s being done to stop this issue. By applying a spotlight to the food issue, I can raise awareness of the problem and provide recognition to the programs that are trying to change this issue. Also I’ll get the feeling of helping the community as well as creating another connection between the students and the residents of Bethlehem.
