Could you spend a whole year talking about racism? 12 NYC teens did!

This documentary offers parents insight on how the next generation is going to confront racism.
Twelve teenagers from New York City were brought together for one school year to talk about race and privilege in a series of workshops and conversations with friends and family members. In documenting their experience, the filmmakers hope to inspire others to recognize and interrupt racism in their own lives.

Catherine Wigginton Greene – Director Catherine is a director, writer, and producer with Point Made Films. She co-produced In 500 Words or Less, which followed four high school seniors as they tried to figure out who they were and who they wanted to become while forging through an anxiety-filled college application process. She also wrote and produced the Adopted: We Can Do Better educational DVD series for adoptive families.
