| ShortSummary
| - This film examines Oakland's evolution through the eyes of social entrepreneurs determined that youth of color not be left on the sidelines as Silicon Valley spreads into the home of the second largest black community in California. Kalimah Priforce, whose first activism was a hunger strike at age eight, and Kimberly Bryant, a successful engineer turned founder of Black Girls Code, are preparing youth to redesign the future through the power of coding. Joined on the national stage by #YesWeCode founder Van Jones, their work represents the cusp of a movement to change both the face and future of technology in America. But is Silicon Valley ready to be hacked? (en)
- On a Friday night after a long week at work, Calvin joined his family in Washington, DC for an informal gathering. Still wearing scrubs from his job at Children’s National Medical Center, he caught up with an old friend while his two boys rode bikes around the block. When police followed his fifteen year-old home, pulling on gloves as they approached him, Calvin intervened to ask “Why? What did he do?” How these questions escalated into a night in jail for him will make you “Think of Calvin” next time you question racial profiling or how America has become the world’s most prolific jailer.

- Charter school founders are pioneers of education reform, staking their claim by opening new schools in many historically underserved communities. But twenty years after the first charter school opened its doors, many Americans are still confused about what these independently operated, publicly funded schools are, and why not all of them are performing well. Was the charter formula wrong? What can the best charter school leaders teach the rest? (en)
- The discourse around education reform – especially on issues involving teachers – lacks nuance, thoughtfulness, and often, commonsense. Simplistic "pro-" and "anti-" teacher rhetoric distracts from the efforts to improve teacher quality, especially in schools serving urban, minority children. What do teachers themselves say about the profession and whether it is serving students' needs... not to mention their own? (en)
