Two films presented as part of Shared Stories linked together by common themes of racial tensions, socio-economic justice, housing disparities and gentrification – and the power of advocacy.
A White filmmaker comes into a Black community looking for transformation in the lives of low-income adults enrolled in a night course in the Humanities. As he spends more time with the students, he’s awakened to the violence, racism and gentrification that threaten their very place in the city.
