<Title>Lights of Baltimore - Documentary Film &#8211; Internship Position</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">Lights of Baltimore is a documentary film about the city in the aftermath of the 2015 Uprising and the relations between the communities and the police. The film asks: what has changed since the Baltimore riots in 1968? How we can rebuild trust between local communities and government agencies? The film investigates potential solutions such as the body camera program and questions the role of social media in the means of documenting the struggle for social justice. The film is currently under production by a Baltimore-based crew and is looking for archival researchers.</div>
