A Brighter Future

Producer: Eve Burris

Camden, NJ...consistently named one of the most dangerous cities in America. Its residents face the challenges of crime, drugs, unemployment and despair. Is it possible to overcome these obstacles? The answer is a resounding YES! Meet five young adults who grew up in Camden and whose futures are filled with hope. A Brighter Future explores the relationship between singing in a choir and success in life. It looks at the ways that the discipline needed for rehearsals and the self-confidence needed for performance can be transferred to other areas of life. Music has the power to transform lives. The scientific evidence has been demonstrated in numerous studies. This inspiring and uplifting documentary is about the human evidence.

Eve Burris has been involved in music for many years. Choral singing, playing several instruments, as well as mastering the technical aspects of music recording have given her a deep appreciation for the value of music in the lives of young people. In addition, Eve has been involved in media production since 1982, including nearly 10 years as owner of Burris Communications, a media production company specializing in video programs for corporate and industrial clients.
