Quoting Arthur Pratt, WeOwnTV: Sierra Leone manager, "We the loose ends, the have nots, the people living in the gutters, the people who will never make it in life, we have come together to create our own family, to have own identity—to create our own space." Serving as inspiration, the footage represents a collection of standout quotes, interviews and creations from the young filmmakers that began to create their own space during the August 2009 WeOwnTV Intro to Filmmaking workshop.

Included is a collection of Flip cam footage from the first day of WeOwnTV's August 2009 workshop in Lunghi, Sierra Leone. For a majority of the participants, this was first time they had ever held a camera of any kind. Fueled by the new medium, creativity began to flow. No sound or narration was added in post (with the exception of opening music); all voiceover comedy was performed live by the student filmmakers.
