The Right Focus is Trócaire’s new documentary film making programme, exploring global justice issues through the lens of short documentary films. It is aimed at young people in Post Primary schools and Youth Groups throughout Ireland who have a passion for global justice, are interested in documentary film making, and want to make a difference.
Documentary film making is one of the most powerful ways to raise awareness and communicate with a wide audience on global justice issues, to bring these injustices front and centre in people’s minds, and hopefully inspire them to take action, and make a difference. All you need is a passion about a global justice issue, a smart phone, and the techniques you will gain through the programme.
The Right Focus programme runs from September to May. The key steps are as follows:
