Several youth spent two days in a studio in Portland, Ore., recording a song written by Shane and sung by Shane and Apples. While these two were recording, other youth filmed scenes for the video in a second studio. Apples stated, “When I was asked to sing, I thought it was a good idea because I sing sometimes at school and at church, but I’ve never really sang specifically for a good reason such as this project. I thought it would be a good way to get the message accross because a lot of people like music.” The youth have received a bit of help from some adults, including De Anna Pearl, American Legacy Media Project coordinator; Tom Wiecks from The Creative Department in Portland; See Youth on page 15.
