Movie Trailer: "The New Public"

"The New Public" depicts the successes and struggles of seven teachers and 108 students who start BCAM, a small Bedford-Stuyvesant high school, directed by my friend and neighbor Jyllian Gunther. 

 

The effort begins with confidence and hope -- and no small degree of naivete -- and its founders experience just as much of an education as the students BCAM serves.  Check it out here - catch it at the Boulder International Film Festival next month.
