About Unity360 Critical Race Film Series 2022

As a genre, teen films can be silly fun or heartbreaking, but there is no denying popular teen films not only reflect society’s views of teenagers at the time, but also perpetuate these views - and help shape how teens see themselves. This year’s Unity360 Critical Race Film Series will explore the impact of these films across the decades and their implicit messaging, for better or worse. Discussion panels will be led by teens and the adults they invite to the space for an intergenerational perspective in analysis of race, gender, sexual orientation and other relevant aspects of identity.

Next in the film series will be Roll Bounce on April 30, 2022

Five high school students from different walks of life endure a Saturday detention under a power-hungry principal. The disparate group includes rebel John, princess Claire, outcast Allison, brainy Brian and Andrew, the jock. Each has a chance to tell his or her story, making the others see them a little differently -- and when the day ends, they question whether school will ever be the same.
