Channel: We Are Light
Date: 2022-05-06

We Are Light Teamed up with Chicago Public Schools, Thrive Chicago, and Communities in Schools for the Shifting Chicago Narratives project where four schools were selected to learn how to tell stories and document them through the use of Apple IPhone cameras and Shure microphones. 

This project was taught remotely and filmed completely by the students using weekly instructions and discussions led by We Are Light  meeting once a week over a ten week period.
In this stirring and insightful documentary, students from the Benito Juarez Community Academy share how they are working to shift narratives around Black and Brown communities in Chicago.

In this emotional and moving film, Benito Juarez Community Academy shifts narratives by opening our eyes to the affects of Covid and its affects on black and brown unity.
