Listen to the interview and decide which of the statements are True or False When 15-year-old Camille Manybeads Tso was 13, she decided to make a film about her great-great-greatgrandmother, a Native American Navajo. People knew her under the name of Yellow Woman. In the 1860s, Yellow Woman was one of many Navajos who had to leave their land in Arizona and travel 480 kilometres on foot to a reservation in New Mexico. During this "Long Walk" many Navajo people died from cold and hunger. On the reservation there was no wood for fires, the drinking water was bad, and the desert land was no good for growing plants. Yellow Woman survived but many people did not. Camille Manybeads Tso called her film "In the Footsteps of Yellow Woman", whose story she heard from her grandmother. Camille started making this film as her school project, but it soon grew into something more important. She did the interviews, read books and articles about that time period, studied the pictures of the Long Walk and finally wrote the script. Then Camille asked her cousins to help her — to act, sing, make costumes and edit. The result is a beautiful film. They have shown it at more than 30 film festivals, the film has won nine prizes. "I believe that everybody has a story to tell," said the young film-maker. "Any small detail in their family can mean something big. Wherever your family is now, there had to be a reason to be there. Our stories are going to be amazing to our grandchildren. And then our grandchildren's stories are going to be amazing to their grandkids. So if we keep learning and asking questions and passing down the stories, they are going to stay with the family for a long time." At the age of 13, Camille made up her mind to make a film. The film was about Camille's relative. Camille's mother told her the story of the Yellow Woman. Yellow Woman was a Native American. Camille started making this film as a scientific project. Camille's brothers and sisters helped her to make the film. Camille thinks that stories about families' past can be interesting for the future generations.
