Documentary Screening: Philly’s road to College

August 21st, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Upcoming Events

Tuesday, Aug 26th - First Person Documentary Screening
6pm - 9pm - The Pittsburgh Project, 2801 North Charles Street (Northside)
The PLYVEF is happy to help WYEP and Valley View Presbyterian Church bring you a documentary told through the eyes of six promising inner city Philadelphia teens as their paths take them to community college and to the corner, to pending motherhood and to prison.

First Person provides a deeply personal examination of how navigating the college pipeline leads to a dream deferred for far too many young people. First Person is also scheduled for public television broadcast in Fall 2008. Refreshments and discussion will follow the screening. Please join us to advocate for the improvement of circumstances facing many of our youth!

There will be another screening on August 28th from 6pm - 9pm on the Southside at 67 Bedford Square in the WYEP studios on the Southside. Both events are free to the public.
