As we approach Black History month in February, Sing Your Song and REACT to FILM will be building and executing two educational initiatives for high-school and college students. REACT to FILM is a non-partisan, non-profit organization that showcases the best documentary films to activate young people around critical social issues. Both initiatives are intended to expose, engage, and inspire students on campuses nationwide to get involved in the social issues that affect the world around them every day.
Additional educational programs outside of REACT to FILM will evolve over the coming months, as it's our intention to spread the message and goal of this film to students world-wide, and make it accessible for teachers and schools.
