Film Screening: Tested

Come see filmmaker Curtis Chin screen his well-regarded film Tested in G-101 on Thursday, March 17 at 7:00 p.m. Chin will introduce the film and lead a discussion session following its conclusion.

"Tested" looks at the important issue of racial diversity and public schools by following a dozen families in New York City from different racial, socio-economic and religious backgrounds as they prepare to pass the grueling standardized test to get into one of the city's best high schools. The film features a number of immigrant families in America trying to navigate the system. 

The film recently premiered at the DOC NYC film festival in NYC where The Village Voice named it one of the best films in the festival. The film has also screened in the UK, Ireland and with the White House and their Initiative on Educational Excellence for African Americans.
