Appendix 6 Video on the UNDP SGPSuggested approach for video documenting UNDP SGP and efforts to promote “Healthy FamilyFunctioning” in Trinidad and TobagoThe key to producing a good video documentary of a programme such as this one would be todevelop a story line connecting the larger issue of healthy family functioning to four things:• its resonance for TT today and the problems we are facing;• the fact that we must approach this issue comprehensively, at many levels and throughvaried strategies;• the ways in which projects under the UNDP SGP have realized this approach and begunto see results;• the need for everyone to continue to support and participate in these efforts in the future.The film would be more of an advertisement for the issue than the programme, though it wouldpresent UNDP SGP as ground-breaking, experimental, and exciting. (And, for purposes of clarity,you may want the UNDP/NSC spokesperson to show the map of all of the projects to ground thestories in the larger picture). With or without the map, that spokesperson should describe therange of things done under the programme by grantees, again to give a sense of what is notgoing to be covered as well as what is. (It is not wise or necessary to talk about the process ofgrant awards, reports, etc. in this video).The video would use examples from the programme projects to show what has been done, whatis possible, and also what still needs to be done. It would acknowledge agency in local handsand responsibility in all hands. It would show that the work can be difficult, but that it isimportant to all of us. It would applaud UNDP for sticking with organizations as they found theirways. It would acknowledge that there is no single right way or right program, but many rightsways and right programs. All of them, in their own ways, are contributing to healthy familyfunctioning in Trinidad and Tobago.One way to accomplish this would be to interview two or three experts or spokespersons whowould set the stage for the thesis regarding the importance of the work, the current realities ofTT, the fact that all generations have to be involved if families are to change, the fact that thereare many ways to approach the issue. One or two experts could be from the UNDP or the NSC,the other(s) could be academics, media personalities, government leaders who are able to speakclearly about family dynamics, community engagement, or crime. You use segments of theseinterviews to introduce the work done in particular projects. You could edit by a focus on age(segments on activities focused on children, youth, parents, elders) or by type effort (training,arts, income generation, community events), or simply select five or six examples and weave theinterview segments to introduce those. This can be decided based on the quality of material youare able to collect or produce. If you can get compelling and clear descriptions of what isneeded if we are to change family functioning in TT, you can simply follow a statement by anexpert by one or two examples of the ways in which the programme has taken this issue on.
