American Promise

This video was produced by Joe Brewster and Michèle Stephenson.

HERE’S HOW THE CREATORS DESCRIBE THIS VIDEO:

A documentary 13 years in the making, American Promise follows the journeys of two African-American boys and their families from kindergarten to high school graduation and provides a powerful narrative about the lives of African-American boys and their families, as well as the factors that contribute to the achievement gap in education for Black males.

“American Promise is more than a documentary; it is part of a bigger, ongoing movement about changing perceptions of – and behaviour and values with respect to – young African-American males in our society.” – Documentary Magazine

This video is a preview of the documentary.
