這個月, 觀眾可以放映 拳擊項目 在星球課堂網絡上. 這部電影是導演 Nacho Gomez 和 Gonzalo Escuder 的紀錄片. 它遵循拉希德的故事, 一個在萊斯特與毒販一起長大的孩子, 英國. 在 11, Rashid dropped out of school to become a drug dealer himself. 20 多年後退出犯罪生活, 拉希德為街頭兒童開設了一個免費健身房，其使命是幫助他們讓生活走上更好的軌道 – 為貧困兒童提供安全避風港的拳擊俱樂部, getting them in shape and providing them with skills to navigate life’s tough challenges.
全球搜索教育 很高興歡迎這部電影的聯合導演, 納喬戈麥斯.
納喬, 是什麼激發了你講述拉希德的故事，你認為你的電影如何啟發了其他人制定諸如拉希德為處於危險中的青年的拳擊項目之類的倡議?
很好, 我們有一大群人展示不同活動的教育計劃. 老實說, the first thing we got interested in was boxing itself. Because boxing means fight with rules, and of course is a very visual sport so we believed that anything that could mix education with boxing would have a real impact; that actually it is precisely what we were looking for in these short documentaries. 然後, as we started to contact them we realized that Rashid opened at the same time his gym for any kind of activities related again with education. 所以我們的印像是他有一個有趣的背景來做這件事, 我們一點一點地透露了他自己的故事，一開始他不願意解釋，但我們覺得有必要說出來。
這部作品如何激發了您從那時起合作的其他青年項目?
其實, 這是一個非常有趣的問題，因為 拳擊項目 是連續第一個，我們以某種方式種植了許多基礎，然後我們將其應用於下一部紀錄片. 例如, interviewing the protagonists in their cars while we were roaming the city was an idea that came out from 拳擊項目. Rashid´s answers were politically correct in front of a camera on a tripod with all the lights on, but became far more interesting when he sat in his own car and I was next to him hand-holding the camera. A very direct portrait of the main educators focusing not only on their projects but on their own life was no doubt a blueprint for next projects.
What do you see as the main takeaways from this story for your audience? What’s been the feedback?
很好, what we portrayed here was basically people who have a natural impulse to listen and guide, and of course there are also young people who need those models to keep going in life because they don’t have this at home or they just feel lost. Social educators deal with situations and issues that could be unbearable for most of us. 絕對是, it is not an easy task and they need help to maintain facilities and volunteers. Those volunteers precisely were youngsters who arrived at these places searching for guidance and now they are providing themselves with this guidance. So it seems pretty obvious for me the gains for society that represents this type of work in the majority of the countries still is not valued enough, and of course is always being managed with very limited funds. The feedback is always an action feedback: people who suddenly after watching the documentaries realize that in their hometown there is a similar situation and they then applied the same principles. 例如, I know a runner from a very isolated place in Spain, that after watching 拳擊項目, created a running club for teens to inspire them in doing activities outdoors and cultivate in them important values such as effort, self esteem, 毅力. Now there is a reference club in the area and many teens from different places wake up early to go and run with him.
What are you working on next?
其實, I have a change of heart as well, and I am currently teaching in different universities and schools in Barcelona. Every year I have 200 students from the age of 6 years old to Masters students in their late twenties. 所以，是的, I became a teacher. I am not currently filming any documentary; 代替, I am teaching people how to use a camera and revealing how powerful an image could be.
Wonderful! 謝謝納喬!
