The Teenagers Saving a Dying River

Make an uplifting documentary about a group of US high school students using TikTok videos, water testing kits, and weekend cleanups to restore a polluted river. Open with an underwater macro shot of plastic drifting past a fish, then transition through a fast handheld 24mm montage of students sampling water, filming vertical videos, and speaking at a town meeting. Contrast harsh midday sunlight on the polluted banks with soft golden-hour light during restoration work. Use authentic phone footage blended with polished 50mm interviews, natural sound, and restrained music. Tell a complete story of measurable change, designed for viral YouTube and TikTok sharing without turning the students into actors.
