Remembering Victoria is a documentary about the life of Victoria Snelgrove. Victoria was a student at Emerson college who tragically passed shortly after the Red Sox beat the Yankees in 2004 to propel them to the World Series. Haley Diman produced this documentary as part of her documentary film-making class at West Bridgewater Middle Senior High School as a way to remember her cousin.
The Victoria Snelgrove Memorial Fund awards scholarships benefiting East Bridgewater High School, Massachusetts and Emerson College of Boston, students who have the dream of pursuing a career in broadcast journalism, like Torie.
