MLEC Filmmakers win award for documentary

A documentary produced by three students from Miami Lakes Educational Center won honorable mention and a $250 prize in the 16th annual C-SPAN StudentCam 2020 competition. Daniel Gonzalez III, Michelle Mairena and Khimmoy Hudson, shown left to right in the photo above, created a six-minute video called “Immigration: The
Broken System.” They were among 300 students who received cash prizes in the national contest. C-SPAN assigned competitors a theme, which was to explore the issue they most wanted presidential candidates to address during the campaign. The 11th graders
included an interview with U.S. Rep. Donna Shalala, D-Miami. Their documentary can be watched here: https://www.viddler.com/v/426412e5. Photo courtesy of the school.
