alan. why did you choose that style to tell your story? >> we could tell that if we had interviews with experts we could get our point across more easily. we could tell a certain idea and we could have been backed up by professionals. that was why we chose interviews. we thought it would help tell the story. all thesee calling up public officials and saying, i am and middle school or. i want to interview. did you have any fun saying no? >> the idea was so new with high-speed rail. all of the experts were either in california or held federal offices. it was frustrating for him to get interviews. after a while, we could easily get them. >> each of you to stay -- did stand-up.

did you do just one take? >> we did a lot. always the liked was wrong or someone was in the background. we did a lot of standoffs and picked the right one. ups and picks the right one. >> you used a lot of statistics. what statistic impress you the most? used -- we used a lot of money for -- >> you had an interesting experience getting down to washington. tell us about that. >> they did not have enough flights. air traffic controllers. >> because of sequestration. >> so we ended up taking high-

speed rail. it took four and a half or five hours. the argument made in the video is that if people had access, they would take it more often. you can get from connected to washington in 45 minutes on the train. was it worth it? >> yes. if you take into account that this tax and security at the airport -- accounted baggage checks and security at the airport, it takes a lot less time. i thought it was better. >> have you ever had a high- speed rail . ? >> no. >> if teenagers have more access to public transportation, with teenagers give up their cars? >> that could be the case. also not entirely certain about it. i will not rule it out. i cannot have any evidence for

either side. i cannot make a logical argument. >> i found myself a little skeptical because we are such a cart track -- such a card-driven society. what is a theory that is -- -- a car-driven society. what is your theory? when global warming becomes an issue and cars become expensive to maintain. public transportation helps get you to place in a cheaper way. it and they to use can understand how easy it is. you have to try to like it. >> we are not so much a cr- driven society -- car- society as a car driving

society. >> the high-speed greater inanjosh took was on -- tra the north wason corridor. what high-speed rail work in places like not to bill? knoxville? >> it depends on the people who use it. after a lot of people began to use high-speed rail and understand how important it could be to our society, it becomes really beneficial. a do you think there is generational shift with more young people being aware of the environmental issues and costs of things? >> i think so. we are worried about our future. it can really help. your middlebout

school. you mentioned a teacher before. what was her name? >> miss reader. she is a great teacher. our school is big and we have a lot of kids going to the same classes. it was nice to be in the c-span class because there were only 18 kids in there, all of whom produced outstanding videos for this project. it was nice to bounce ideas off of each other and socialize with them. >> what happened when you won because you had so many classics also competed? what was it like? >> i was shocked. austin was confident. he said, i told you so. like,that, everybody was congratulations. they were all supportive. >> how did your school celebrate your award? methe teachers congratulated

different interviews from senators and different people. your camera takes us to an upper middle-class neighborhood. the thing that you think about is you never know what is going on behind the walls of those houses. the person who is in it, he was successful and he loses his job and everything starts happening -- happening rapidly. even people who live in big houses, they cannot afford all of this stuff. >> let's watch. >> come to my hometown of madison, connecticut and you will find it hard to believe that unemployment is one of the biggest problems in america today. a train ride will take you to one of the biggest cities in the united states, downtown manhattan.

136,000 people are unemployed. 8.5%. we spoke with a well-educated man who lost his job just over two years ago and has been looking for work ever since. >> going back to when i first became unemployed, i was guilty of this, thinking that once i get a job everything is better not realizing how systemic it is and how unemployment affects everything in your life. >> you start to see systemic issues and marital strife and everything associated with the psychological burden and the worry and stress. >> self-esteem and even inviting people over. you are not able to have people over. talk about a domino effect. i cannot begin to tell you. the long we are in it, the worse it gets. you are not employable because you have been out of work for so long. it goes on and on.

>> you have specialized skills. if you do not use those skills, they deteriorated. then we get into another vicious circle. if your skills are deteriorating, you are less likely to get hired again. unemployment is a serious issue for reasons beyond my paycheck. i did not get into health insurance. most americans get health insurance through their job. what happens if somebody gets sick? >> i hurt my back many years ago. i was just out of college. also, i was diagnosed with lung disease. , you do notoyed have access to the health-care and doctors do not want to accept medicaid. trying to get any kind of health care, i have been lucky with my long dr. -- lung doctor.

but most of them do not want anything to do with you. it is one stigma to being unemployed. >> most of unemployment insurance covers $300 a week. it does not go a long way when you consider car insurance, rent, food, clothing, heating, electricity, and more. what little money left over will be spent on the other necessities and unemployed people will have to resort to borrowing money from friends and family and may be losing their belongings. program is aocial job. a job gives you a paycheck. it provides a means to support yourself and your family. it provides dignity and self- worth for people who know they are contributing. they know they are capable of not being dependent on the government or family or charitable groups.

what is happening now. his medically got insurance taking care of -- taken care of. he is still unemployed, but it is looking up. >> you took someone who had a couple of strikes against them. it is hard for older workers to find a job and he has health issues. why did you choose someone with extra challenges? >> he was the first person who was unemployed and i had easy access to. i already knew him ahead of time, so it would be comfortable interviewing him. >> you think people would be uncomfortable talking on camera about being unemployed? >> yes and i thought he would be a great candidate to follow. >> the interesting thing is that he went to two u.s. congressman. congressmen.

how willing were they to talk about unemployment? .> i approached five of them i heard back from two. they were really willing to arrange appointments. how much time did you spend in each of their offices? >> about an hour each. that included setting up the cameras and the microphone. it was about a half an hour interview. >> since there were two camera shoots, why did you decide to do that for storytelling? hines, i thought there would be a close-up to capture his facial expressions. and there was a shot of his desk to show his computers and we got the surroundings. us the sizene for

and scope of the problem and particularly the long term employment problem. you did not really move on to anybody's suggested solutions. did you learn about what people think the answer to the problem is or did you developed any of your own thoughts? lies withinr really the people themselves, the average joe working and creating businesses and putting money back into the economy. along with railroads and things like that. spending on infrastructure. >> your idea would create more jobs for the people josh was talking about. overall, unemployment has a cascading effect. can you tell me more about this connected to this and connected to this in your story? first loses his job.
