An interesting, insightful look at a former social worker's creation of a film school in the Bronx. The piece looks at how Hollywood and MSM often portray the Bronx and its residents in inaccurate and condescending ways. The students involved are interviewed and featured throughout the piece; many education articles I recently reviewed neglected to interview students (key stakeholders), so I was pleased to see how prominently they were featured here.

Yes, it has quotes from both the founder of the school and one of the students, but it would be nice if the article addressed more of the issue of why the Ghetto Film School is free and why more schools like it are needed.

This is an informative piece that sheds light onto the good work on an individual who is able to take his blessings and continue to give to others. The program sounds like a great opportunity and experience for the fortunate children who get to be involved. The article was able to give attention to a good and relatively new school.
