Review of Teen Marriage


Hellen describes the absurdity of teen marriage when she mentions “students carry bridal magazines along with their school books.” She then does a great job of being objective and let’s the statistics and interviewees speak for themselves. The subject matter is interesting, and a little disturbing. The actualities are well chosen and reflect Hellen’s ability to conduct comfortable and relaxed interviews. The one small change that would make the piece great is a more natural narration. I look forward to hearing a follow up on Bonnie’s first anniversary.
