First Voice Generation is an educational documentary film directed and produced by Cynthia Martinez that follows three Latinx high school students in Holland, Michigan. As children of Mexican immigrants, they struggle with a sense of identity and belonging growing up in a predominantly Dutch community. They dream of being the first in their family to go to college, but when COVID-19 shuts the world down and virtual learning exacerbates their struggles, their dream seems impossible. I managed the film's social media presence on Instagram and Facebook to raise awareness within the first-generation community and highlight its goals in promoting higher education and serving as a resource as it tours nationally.
