Please join us for a special event featuring two new films from the award-winning TEACHED series produced and directed by Kelly Amis. Co-hosted by Georgetown's Film and Media Studies Program and its Prisons and Justice Initiative, and generously sponsored by CityBridge Foundation and the Moriah Fund, we will examine the particular "lenses" society places on African American boys and the role we all have to play in changing them.
