Commissioned by Bone McAllister Law Firm for their annual Martin Luther King Jr. breakfast. We interviewed close to 15 high school students in the greater Nashville area to hear what they had to say about racism, segregation, cultural appropriation, MLK, and how their generation will effect change in these areas going forward. In addition to the conversations filmed, Debria Tyler a spoken word artist created three pieces that are showcased in the doc. The entire project was filmed in 36 hrs and served as the keynote address for the annual MLK Jr breakfast.
