About the Documentary Film:

Fly By Light has received acclaim at 12 international film festivals, including Bahamas International, Capital City Film Festival, Urban Media Maker’s Film Festival, and winning the Audience Choice Award at BolderLife!

Film Synopsis:

A group of teenagers board a bus for West Virginia, leaving the streets of Washington, DC to participate in an ambitious peace education program. For the first time in their lives Mark, Asha, Martha, and Corey play in mountain streams, sing under the stars, and confront the entrenched abuse, violence and neglect cycles of their past. But as they return to DC, each young person faces an unforgiving series of hurdles and roadblocks that challenge their efforts to build a better life. Through breathtaking visuals from street corners to mountaintops, Fly By Light is an intimate exploration of the chaotic, confusing, and emotional journey to rewrite a young person’s future.

About the Filmmakers:

Directed by filmmaker Ellie Walton and produced by Hawah Kasat, this new documentary film follows the experience of a select group of youth who participated in this program facilitated by One Common Unity.

An interactive discussion will be held after the screening, with the filmmakers and youth!
