Summary: Youth Producer Dolna Smithback spent a week with the Global Youth Leadership Institute documenting year one of the program, "aboard the Amsted schooner".
Dolna could have edited the tape of the GYLI speaker a little more, as the strongest aspects of the feature are tape from other students and the segment about the Amistad schooner. In these sections of the piece, we really get a sense of what being at this conference felt like. This is where Dolna's voice comes through the clearest as well. By the end, we are invested in her as well as the GYLI conference. Dolna chose a good angle from which to approach the feature; the story about the storm provided direction to the piece. Overall, this is a great feature that sheds light on an interesting program.
