Students investigate the right to protest.

Students

In 2020, protests for racial justice swept through the country and around the world. What are protestors’ rights? What responsibility do police have to support or protect these rights? How can young people protest safely?
In the winter of 2020-2021, CUP, Teaching Artist Hugo Rojas, and students from the Bronx School for Law, Government &amp; Justice collaborated to investigate the limits, purpose, and power of protest. Students created GIFs, surveyed community members, interviewed key stakeholders working on the issue.
The team gathered what they learned and created In the Streets! – a documentary that teaches others how to protest safely for causes that matter most to them and their communities.
Students premiered their final project virtually through a public debut presentation, where they presented their film and shared their creative process. Students also screened their film at a special school-wide presentation.
Watch the documentary below!
