Moni Story
The Underground Railroad Through The Eyes Of A Child
Hello my name is Imani Vance, I am 10 years old and I am producing a Documentary Film about a young girl living in slavery, her mother died and she lives with her father old Ben.
The master informed old Ben, he needs money for the plantation and must sell Moni.
Old Ben escapes with his daughter Moni and uses the Underground Railroad to try and get to freedom. They are chased by slave catchers, dogs, and run into many other problems.
After reading about the Underground Railroad, I wondered what it would have felt like to live in that time, so I ask my parents to help. I want to film the Underground Railroad starting from Maryland, Delaware to Philadelphia taking the same route the slaves took. The cast and crew consist of my family, brothers, sister, friends and students from the Children Art Gallery workshop.
I had to learn how to use script software to write my script, a sound editing program to score the film and create sound effects. I also learned lighting, focusing, coloration and also doing my homework to stay on the honoroll. My parents have given me complete freedom to make my documentary.
