The Remedee Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping young people discover their voices through media.

The Remedee Foundation launched Reel Lives in 2007 with a group of teens in the gang-infested neighborhood of Altadena, California, where students in an intensive documentary filmmaking program explored topics ranging from peer pressure to cultural identity to health care.

This clip tells the story of Mesha and gives a behind the scenes look at the making of her documentary short about her special needs cousin, Anthony.
