James Valastro of memefilms has produced a video titled Searching the American Legacy Tobacco Documents that combines document searching, students, and video production. After attending the UCSF Tobacco Documents workshop in the Spring, Mr. Valastro himself conducted a 5-hour workshop for middle-school and high-school students, teaching them to search the millions of pages of once secret internal tobacco documents. This 9 minute video is the result of the workshop and a wonderful showcase for the students' interest in critical thinking, health education and media production.
