Defining US, Children at the Crossroads of Change is our flagship film in a documentary series focused on improving the health and well-being of students living though divided times.  The first film of the series takes audiences inside the nation’s largest school systems to help us learn how to better understand each other and ourselves in a diverse, complex, divided nation.

Through the passionate, credible voices of educators and the inspirational, persuasive stories of the students, we learn why and how open, constructive conversations about race and other vital issues are the life blood of our identity and fundamental to our humanity.
