Executive Producer Paul Forbes, a former educator with New York City schools, and Producer/Director Stacey Dewitt joined BLK News Now! to discuss their documentary “Defining US: Children at the Crossroads of Change,” which was released Aug. 23, 2022. The eye-opening project shares frank conversations about race and what role it can play in academic achievement. The creators hope the documentary will be a tool for educators and administrators to help create a space where there can be constructive dialogue about how race in America, particularly for students of color, impacts their ability to succeed in school.
“Defining US: Children at the Crossroads of Change” is the first of a series of documentaries Forbes and Dewitt plan to release. For more information about the documentary and the producers, visit www.definingus.org and follow the documentary on social media.
