These "documentaries" are centered around a particular theme or demographic of students. The students share information about their goals, dreams, and struggles during the trip. They interview several professionals and ask penetrating questions about careers, pathways, and life journeys. You feel like you went on the road trip with them, and afterwards you feel encouraged, confident, informed, and ready to move forward.
