FOREVER CONDEMNED

---

A film by Stefan Day

    Forever Condemned, a documentary which portrays the genocidal gauntlet forced upon the Cherokee Nation under the US policy of subjugation and extermination driven by President Andrew Jackson. Sweeping aside the thin protection of the US Supreme Court, Jackson brings a heartless fist down onto the native inhabitants of the land, a resource desired by the young and expanding nation. In this Tim Burns (The Civil War, Baseball)-style piece, the viewer feels our history through the deft hand of a teenage school film project.
    Stefan Day, a 17 year old senior at Nevada Union High School, has already chalked up some formidable building blocks in his pursuit of a filmmaking career. Most recently, he gathered the Grand Prize at the 1998 Tower of Youth Teen Digital Reel Showcase, then spent a summer at the UCLA Film School. Stefan is determined and relentless in crafting his future as a filmmaker. One ace in the hole is his access to a commercial quality digital editing system , the SciTex Video Cube, donated by the manufacturer to his school.
