New film and screening: Personal Statement
Posted by Reify Films on October 15, 2018
PERSONAL STATEMENTÂ is a feature-length documentary that follows Karoline, Christine and Enoch through their senior year and into college. They work tirelessly as peer college counselors to realize better futures for themselves and their peers. They struggle and they stumble, but refuse to succumb to the barriers that prevent so many low-income students from attending and graduating from college.
Karoline, Christine and Enoch spend much of their senior year helping their peers get to college, even though they must overcome obstacles of their own that could easily prevent them from going to college themselves.
The film follows them through their senior year and into college as they attempt to navigate the college process on a terribly uneven playing field.
