I was a Teaching Artist in Crown Heights and the students in my filmmaking workshop did a great documentary on the relationship betwen Blacks and Jews in Crown Heights. We did it 2011 the 20th anniversary of the what is called, The Crown Heights Riots. It won a few prizes and got some local recognition when it came out. It was an important moment for those students, many, out of mistrust and fear, had never spoken with the Jewish residents in the neighborhood and same thing for the Jews we interviewed who had little or no interaction with their Black neighbors.
