Join Us on December 6th at Cable Car Cinema for the Premiere of 'American Promise'-Straight from Sundance Film Festival!!

Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Ocean State is proudly collaborating with Cable Car Cinema to make ‘American Promise’, an extraordinary documentary about race, family and education, straight from Sundance Film Festival, available to premiere in RI on December 6th at 7pm.  Attendees will be able to meet the Filmmakers Joe Brewster and Michèle Stephenson and engage in an important panel dialogue after the premiere showing on December 6th and for a Q & A on December 7th after the 6pm showing. 

What started out as a creative project for Filmmakers Joe Brewster and Michèle Stephenson has turned into an epic and groundbreaking documentary charged with the hope that every child can reach his or her full potential and contribute to a better future for our country. This important film also discovers the distinct and troubling growing pains young men of color experience while steering internal and external cultural stereotypes. Stephenson and Brewster deliver a rare, intimate, and emotional portrait of black middle-class family life, humanizing the unique journey of African-American boys as they face the real-life hurdles society poses for young men of color, inside and outside the classroom.

Yet as illuminating as the film is regarding one crucial issue, a film of this scope is obviously a monumental undertaking!! We hope that you can attend and join us for this stunning movie.
