Using the smartphone in your pocket, the basic elements of cinematic storytelling and your own ingenuity and passion, you can make micro-documentaries (micro docs) that reach millions of people. You might even change the world a little bit.

Then you’ll apply the essential elements of narrative and the basic vocabulary of cinema to a potential micro doc, learning how to find and capture a nonfiction story, and share it with the world.
