We are currently finishing up editing an 18-minute educational video for high school classrooms. It draws upon the interviews conducted during pre-production with over forty children of immigrants New York and Berlin. The piece highlights five young people in each city and deals with issues of immigration, discrimination & bias-based harassment in schools, and identity. We have screened it in a number of classrooms, and are looking for a few more opportunities to get feedback from high school age youth. It works well as an hour long class session when partnered with our discussion guide. If you work with young people and would be interested in finding out more about hosting a feedback session, please contact: christina@withwingsandroots.com.
We Updated the Website!
We have recently recreated the website making it easier to update and expand, adding a new trailer, and more recent images. As the project moves forward, we plan to make this site increasingly interactive. Please share the link with your friends and families, become our fan on Facebook and other social networking sites, and let us know what you think. If you have ideas for the website or project as they develop, please share them with us! If you are interested in getting involved, check out the collaborate page.
Hope to hear from you,
Christina, César, Lu, and Alejandro (the web team)
