Teaching America honors the high school students and teachers who stood united—embracing joy, dignity, brilliance, and love—when the state of Arkansas threatened to shut down their Advanced Placement African-American Studies classes. The film captures a powerful moment in America: a testament to the wisdom, boundless curiosity, and unshakable desire to learn that crosses boundaries and generations—in a time of forced erasure of our history, culture, and humanity.
Directed and Produced by Anurima Bhargava, Produced by Alisa Payne, Executive Produced by Geeta Gandbhir and Sam Pollard
