Discussion to follow with film subject Daje Shelton and director Jeremy S. Levine, moderated by Charlayne Hunter-Gault
Just four miles away from the events about to unfold in Ferguson, Missouri, 17-year-old Daje Shelton is expelled but given one last chance to earn her diploma. This film gives a fly-on-the-wall vantage at a transformative moment: when black American teens come up against institutional and societal roadblocks and must fight for their future.
