PROFILED
A film by Kathleen Foster 
NEW STUDY GUIDE NOW AVAILABLE!

An urgent and powerful indictment of racial profiling and police brutality,  PROFILED tells the stories of mothers of Black and Latino youth murdered by the NYPD and places them within a historical context of the roots of racism in the U.S.   Ranging from the routine harassment of minority students in an affluent Brooklyn neighborhood to the killings and protests in Staten Island and Ferguson, PROFILED bears witness to the racist violence that remains an everyday reality for many in this country.

A new Study Guide has been developed as a tool to help educators and community groups use the film to stimulate discussion about the critical issues of race and racism in the U.S. This is an invaluable resource for classrooms and organizations seeking to encourage dialogue and spark change.

SOUTHERN RITES
A film by Gillian Laub

SOUTHERN RITES is an eye-opening look at the systemic prejudices and ingrained biases that have divided a county in Georgia along racial lines for generations. In 2009, The New York Times Magazine published filmmaker Gillian Laub's controversial images of Montgomery County High School's racially segregated proms. A media furor ensued, and the town was forced to integrate the proms the following year. When Laub returned to document the changes, she stumbled upon two stories: the case surrounding the murder of an unarmed Black man by a white town patriarch, and a historic campaign by a police chief to become the county's first African-American sheriff. Through her hauntingly intimate portrait, Laub reveals the horror and humanity of these complex, intertwined narratives and ultimately asks whether a new generation can build a different future from the racist foundations of its past.

"Riveting. Digs deep to expose the roots that have made segregated proms and other affronts possible. A portrait of the inequities that lead to disaster on the streets of cities like Baltimore and Ferguson."  - The New York Times
