Prologue, an alternative high school the West Side of Chicago, educates their students from a social justice standpoint. We had the privilege to sit down with Vedran’s film class to learn about who they are, their role models, and their hopes for the future.
Another interesting discussion was developed on the idea of role models. The students talked about not only film role models but also those that are present in their everyday lives. Students shared how they were drawn towards Tyler Perry’s work. He makes films that are easily relatable which generate a lot of meaning for these students. Another film icon was Spike Lee. Lastly, one of the four students, Shannon, talked with us about a program called YAP. This is a mentors program which has provided him with an individual he can spend time with. Shannon talked about how he was able to call this individual to hang out, play sports, or even just go out to eat.
Thank you to these students for being so open in sharing their lives with us. We look forward to hearing more about their future endeavors!
