(see www.rediscoverosaritobeach.org). The week long activity provides students with cameras and editing equipment. as well as professional expertise, necessary to complete their first film on a topic related to Rosarito. The films are premiered at Baja Studios on Sunday August 12, and have been shown around the world in cities including New York, L.A., Barcelona, Santiago, London and Paris.
