Our Time

OUR TIME is a series produced by youth in partnership with professional documentary filmmakers. Films in the series feature character-driven stories that address social issues ranging from racial inequity to identity politics and everything in-between - all through the eyes of young people. Working hand-in-hand with award-winning, nationally recognized filmmakers and television producers, these young students produce high-caliber, emotionally driven, first-person narratives that derive from their own lived experiences.
