When You See Something, Do Something. An interview with Jaclyn Menendez by Anna Cooke
It is always hopeful to learn of and speak with a young person who wants to make a difference in the world. Jaclyn Menendez is a young filmmaker from South Florida who recently completed her first documentary, Dumped, A Rescue
Story.The story is about the dogs abandoned at the Redlands rock pit area of Miami. Jaclyn, who is in the ninth grade, had no idea of the dire situation until her mother alerted her. “You never hear about this on the news. I thought, how did I not know of this before?” She researched the subject

Abandoned Dogs Project. The 501c3 organization visits the area daily to try and rescue some of the dogs and mostly feed them. Jaclyn went out with the volunteers several times and brought her camera along, shooting hours of footage. “The camera captured everything. It was shocking to see the

continue going to record the events. “The camera acts as everyone’s eyes. I felt this would be a way
to show people what is going on,” she told us. With all of the footage, Jaclyn said she originally didn’t have a complete vision as how to create a focused, meaningful message. A movie, The Book of Henry, had a dramatic impact on Jaclyn, particularly when Henry tells his mother, “When someone is in trouble, those who can help must take action.” Henry develops an elaborate plan to rescue a neighbor from abuse and memorializes it in a notebook. Brainstorming with her family, it was Jaclyn’s father who came
up with the idea of presenting the problem and providing solutions as the premise for her documentary. “It takes a team of people to create a film,” Jaclyn said. “This film
goes through the process of the dogs on the streets, to them finding their forever homes.” With tons of footage to edit, she said the project became stressful, admitting, “There were a lot of tears.” Jaclyn’s mother said that her daughter has a certain style. “Self
taught, she has become a master at editing. It is magical to watch,” said Jeanette Melian. When her friends saw the video, they immediately wanted to
get involved. “That is all I want, for people to take some kind of action after watching it,” said Jaclyn. Jeanette agrees. “We hope that once people see the film it will
continue to raise awareness of the dogs being dumped, abandoned and surrendered in the Miami-Dade County area. The documentary made its public debut to an appre-
ciative audience in July. The 13-minute film may be viewed on
