Recorded over 12 years of the boys» journey from
kindergarten through high school
graduation, this film explores issues of race,
class, and opportunity in America and raises provocative questions.
Beginning in
kindergarten,
classes of young students were referred to by their
graduation year — «
Class of 2016» instead of 4th grade — and transitions to middle and high school became opportunities to look ahead, with 8th graders participating in a
graduation rehearsal rather than a
graduation ceremony.
