Diversity Film Series Presentation: The House I Live In

1/16/2015

Picture
The House I Live In, presented by the Appreciating Diversity Film Series, is one of the strongest we've shown.  It traces the genesis and history of the War on Drugs, and its catastrophic effects on the fabric of black and other poor communities.  We learn about the impact on policing, the courts, and the mushrooming prison system, and the huge economy it supports.  The recent tragic deaths of black men on city streets are only the tip of the iceberg.  For our discussion after the film, we'll have a former Piedmont student who is now a Public Defender, who will outline recent changes in drug law sentencing and answer questions.  The film is appropriate for older middle school and high school students.  I hope we'll have a great turnout--please tell friends and family it's a must-see!
