The Problem

Everyone looks at teen pregnancy from the outside. My documentary is aimed at giving people the inside look at young motherhood and giving the mothers, and the young fathers, a chance to tell the world there story.

Plan of Action

First, I reached out to young mothers who have children. I asked them if they'd be willing to share what their lives were like before they got pregnant, and after their children arrived. I asked mothers of different young ages and ethnicities to share their stories. Then I reached out to different young girls who are pregnant now and asked if they'd be willing to share their journey to motherhood with me. I asked them all to share their stories with the world in my film and they agreed. In the end, I plan to have them all meet up and together with their kids and talking among themselves about teen motherhood together.
