First Person is a documentary about how 78% of low-income high school students expect to attend college. Fewer than half of them make it. What happens to their dreams along the way?
First Person unfolds through the eyes of six promising inner city Philadelphia teens. From community college and to the corner, to pending motherhood and to prison, First Person provides a deeply personal examination of how navigating the college pipeline leads to a dream deferred for far too many young people.
WINNER for Best Documentary and Best New Director at the 2008 Philadelphia Film Festival.
Email Roxanne for more details. Screening is free and open to the public; families are encouraged to attend.
