Life in South central Los Angeles as a Black teenager
In this informative film, students at the Performing Arts Community at Diego Rivera explore the lived experiences of black teenagers growing up in South Central Los Angeles.Â
This film was produced “by students, for students” during a film workshop with Young Moviemakers of America (YMA) in the spring of 2024.
"If our stories aren't told by us, they aren't told correctly."
