The CUNY School of Professional Studies (CUNY SPS) Youth Studies program launches our 2024 programming with its film series.

The Community and Youth Organizing film series includes three documentaries that illuminate how communities get their needs and desires met through collective action. All three films demonstrate youth and/or community organizing principles in action with examples from the heart of Bed-Stuy to CUNY’s City College to the streets of Puerto Rico.

The first film in the series is The Sun Rises in The East. 

Each film screening is followed by an engaging conversation led by Professor Lumumba Bandele to help the audience digest the wisdom gleaned from these activists and apply the lessons to our current justice agendas.  

NOTE: To accommodate all who wish to attend, the film screening will NOW be hosted as a virtual event via Zoom.

We invite you to register for the other two films in the series:

The Five Demands, January 17th, 2024

We Still Here/ Nos Tenemos, January 24th, 2024
