Bored with cable TV? Check out an exciting documentary that follows a civic engagement project produced in partnership with Brooklyn College of the City University of New York and Gateway National Recreation Area.

Hear Every Voice: NYC and the National Park Service is a video by Stephen Ogumah that reaches out to the residents of Brooklyn and Queens. Students from Brooklyn College worked to create a bridge for Gateway that would help a population that has limited exposure to the park. They also worked to increase dialog between the park and community.

The film is available online and was created to coincide with the airing of the Ken Burns documentary, The National Parks: America's Best Idea.
