WE THE CHILDREN

Harlem International Film Festival

 

This film captures students from Pono school in Harlem, their concerns about the 2016 election results and their ensuing political journey. Filmmakers Jamal Joseph and Mike DeCaro follow the children, ages 7 to 11, as they study constitutional law, engage in activism, and get involved in New York City's Harlem community. 

The subjects of We the Children ultimately challenge the general perception of children's limited role in politics and encourage viewers to consider children's political voice
