I'm Not Racist… Am I? (13 min) Rwanda/US |
[watch trailer] |
Director: Catherine Wigginton Greene
Producer: Andre Robert Lee
Description:
What if this next generation could transcend racism? We asked twelve teenagers from New York City to come together for one school year to talk about race and privilege in a series of workshops and in conversations most of us are too afraid to have. The film is part of a larger initiative—Deconstructing Race—developed by The Calhoun School to create a multimedia platform to get young people, their teachers and their families talking—and doing something—about structural systemic racism. Once they push through naivete, guilt and tears, what they learn may change us all.
