Buunni Inwood: “Israelism” Film Screening & Discussion

Word Up – Screening & Panel: 1.5 Million
Join Word Up for a screening of Gregory Hernandez‘s film 1.5 Million about the literacy crisis in the Bronx, the home where he was born and raised. Gregory lays out the grim stats on illiteracy, poverty, and outcomes, then introduces viewers to the people in the Bronx who are making a difference. He shows that access to literature at the library, school library, classroom library, at home, and within your community is essential.
At the end of the screening, Brandon Montes, founder of the Norwood Community Library, Linda Aldebot, Assistant Principal (Bronx Studio School For Writers & Artists), and Veronica Santiago Liu, founder of Word Up, will join the director for a discussion about literacy in the neighborhood.
