Great Opportunity and highly recommended. I had them at my Juvenile Hall and it
was fantastic and well received. Practical, Real, Visionary.
Romeo is Bleeding is a film available for community screenings soon! It will
include educational resources and a corresponding curriculum. Request a
screening of ROMEO IS BLEEDING, romeoisbleedingfilm.com/signup
<http://romeoisbleedingfilm.com/signup> and use the film to discuss ways to
prevent community violence and help promote positive self-expression through
the arts
ROMEO IS BLEEDING <http://romeoisbleedingfilm.com/> is a documentary film
following Donté Clark, a young poet from Richmond, CA, a community that
struggles with gun violence stemming from a decades old turf war. Donté
transcends the violence in his hometown by writing poetry about his
experiences. Using his voice to inspire those around him, he co-founded an arts
organization called RAW Talent, where like-minded youth from both sides of
Richmond mount Te’s Harmony, an urban adaptation of Shakespeare’s Romeo and
Juliet, with the hope of starting a real dialogue about violence in the city.
Please feel free to forward.
