The NPES Social Justice Film Series extends key aspects of our curriculum to a broader audience including parents, students, faculty, our local community, and other schools, enabling NPES to contribute to important conversations about our city’s well-being. We value multiculturalism and diverse perspectives in our classrooms, and teach how differences can enrich our community, deepen learning, and promote a more equitable and just society.

Past films and filmmaker conversations include: 

• André Robert Lee's The Road to Justice
• Josh Chuck's Chinatown Rising
• Krys Kornmeier's Normal Isn’t Real
• NPES Alumni parent, Greg Jacobs's The Road Up
• Jane M. Wagner's Break the Game
• Yuriko Gamo Romer's Baseball Behind Barbed Wire

As a school that has demonstrated a strong commitment to the arts since its founding, a film series seemed the perfect vehicle for this work. Please enjoy some photos from past gatherings.

Please join us for our next film, Anxious Nation, followed by a conversation with filmmaker Laura Morton and her daughter Sevey, on Tuesday, April 15, 2025 at 6:30 pm. RSVP here. As always, films are free and open to the public. Students may attend with an adult.
