Our School
Documentry, currently in production


From the classroom to urban farming experiments, from trade schools to schools for young mothers, Our School tests preconceptions of what's failing and what's working in Detroit for young people.

This summer, Meredith Zielke and Yoni Goldstein will be editing the new feature documentary by Detroit based filmmaker, Oren Goldenberg. Our School is a critical study of the Detroit Public School System through the eyes of high school students and their teachers. Interleaving the prismatic complexities of teenage life with the structural narrative of a once prosperous, but deeply segregated, industrial city, Our School seeks to negotiate the racial, economic, and systematic problems of urban public education.

The film also features exclusive interviews with Detroit based activists and performers such as Grace Lee Boggs and Will Copeland.
