Stay Tuned: Documentary on Third Graders Coming Soon

My second documentary will be posted by next week, but I was wondering if anyone had some creative title suggestions? The close to-7-minute-piece is about four third graders, two boys and two girls, and their perspectives on violence in their community, politics, war, and death. It may sound a little depressing, haha, but their responses are actually extremely insightful and undeniably honest.

I was thinking of calling it something like, "The View From Room 20" (they're all in the same class), or "Through Their Eyes," "Four Eyes on the World," "The World As They See It," "Third Graders Know" -- if you get where I'm going. I'm definitely open to suggestions, so feel free. Thanks! I'm excited to finish up and get it posted.

Hi Caitlin,
I especially like your manner with the children; your understated, matter-of-fact way of talking, rather than the typical school-marm condescension. It works, and it's interesting.

As for a title suggestion, it's not bad as it is: "Stay Tuned." It implies that someday soon the little citizens will have a lot more to say.
