Graduating senior Ravhel Granillo will be attending the Production and Directing Program at UCLA in the fall. A stellar student, Rachel is interested in social issue documentary. "I am passionate about helping others. I hope to provide a voice for those who are silenced by tyranny, injustice, and maltreatment. Documentary film has the power to inform, educate, and make people better citizens through shared stories. I hope to be able to partner with non-profit organizations to create social awareness of topics that go overlooked by mainstream media and governmental policy. The issues I would like to cover are civil rights violations and the environmental crisis. With these films, I would like to inform people and create a sense of empathy among viewers. I believe that the power of compelling documentary films can change the world."
