Experiencing Interruptions?

On My Way for an Education

“On My Way for an Education” was created by students in the ACLU San Diego Youth Activists for Change program at MAAC Community Charter School, with guidance from local film artist Reynaldo Escoto. The stop-motion animation film chronicles the story of two fictional MAAC Community Charter School students as they confront the challenges of their daily commute to school, their binational experience and their resistance to the racist and classist forces they face.
