Documentary filmmaker and Highland Park Native, Brett A. Schwartz, will screen his award-winning documentary that “peels back the layers, exposing the deep-seated segregation, food insecurity, and mass incarceration that continue to shape predominantly Black neighborhoods”. Pre-registration is required and there is a small admission fee ($10) as there are a limited number of seats available.
“In RAISED UP WEST SIDE, we follow the harrowing, yet frequently inspiring plight of ex-offenders, social activists, and entrepreneurs, witnessing the fierce tenacity required to change the narrative - and change lives on Chicago's West Side.”
