Worried
In this short Documentary, Director Ava Snow asks other teens one question only, "What do you worry about?" This film explores that question with the raw, unscripted answers of real youth. Their true responses delve deep into critical concerns about school, friends, family, the environment, suicide, sexual orientation, consent, safety, mass shootings, drugs, women's rights, and the pressure of planning for an unknown future. This film sheds light on fears kids face in today's society.
