An interesting assignment was given to me during my AP Government class: entering C-SPAN’s StudentCam documentary competition. It is optional, but it could replace a majority of the projects we do in the semester. I intend on doing this project because it would be another project I could proudly put resources into. The topic I would be pursuing would be something along the lines of health care. Currently, I am not too sure on what specifically I want to cover. I was considering one about the Affordable Healthcare Act, but I quickly learned about how complicated, convoluted, and controversial the subject matter is. Pursuing such a subject would take much longer than one semester, and I definitely do not want to make a film that does not adequately cover the subject. Nonetheless, I still want to cover a subject about health care. Perhaps one that covers the net costs of joint replacements. Personally, I find it interesting how manufacturing a prosthesis can be made at a very cheap cost, but sold to hospitals at much higher costs. I am still thinking about what idea I should pursue, for there are a lot of directions I can take. As of now, I will start planning an outline in what I should learn more about. I think documentaries are the greatest way to educate an entire generation that doesn't often look back to learn anything about the history that provided a safe haven for so many of us today. - Steven Spielberg
