Red Horizon is a documentary short film about a group of pilots who are dedicated to keeping the legacy of the Tuskegee Airmen alive while pursuing their dreams of becoming professional aviators and inspiring the Black community to take to the skies and change racial imbalance that persists in the world of aviation. The film centers around a cast of dedicated students at Tuskegee University who are on scholarship with the Red Tails Scholarship Foundation. Through their training they learn that being a Tuskegee Airmen has more to do with how much they are willing to give than the color of their skin.


California Premiere!
