June 9, 2011 – Lincoln Center – ImageNation led another sold out film even at the Walter Reade theatre last night. The film was Prep School Negro – a documentary about the director’s struggle in attending one of the most prestigious prep schools in the country, having hailed from a lower income neighborhood in Philly.
Director Andre Robert Lee was on hand and introduced the film and led a panel discussion
Phenomenal, but CC will keep it short. Here are 5 gems to inspire Crablings to run to the theater when it’s released:
5. Andre: I need to axe you something
Classmate: If you axe me, then I will bleed.
4. Andre’s discussion with his father on love, abandonment, and pride
3. Kids of all ages describe how they try to “act black” at home yet “act not black” at school
2. Taking friends home when they live in mansions and you…don’t
1. Realizing you weren’t the only one to ever struggle with identity – black, white, or otherwise
Muy proud.
