Film Screening: “Beyond the Wall” 
4:30pm to 5:30pm
U.S. Department of Education,
400 Maryland Avenue SW, Washington, DC
Open Attendance, RSVP in Eventbrite

Join us for a screening of “Beyond the Wall”, a documentary that follows four D.C. public school students to China as they participate in a summer study program for disadvantaged inner-city kids. The film follows them as they experience the excitement and anxiety of embarking on a journey to a completely different culture and as they learn how to interact with the other students on the trip. Back in D.C. a year later, we see how the trip to China has given them a fresh perspective on the obstacles and opportunities on their path to adulthood. “Beyond the Wall” gives voice to these four inspirational and often funny teenagers as they navigate the limitations of their home situations and reach for a meaningful future.

RSVP by close of business Monday, November 16th in Eventbrite.

*** Also on November 18th:  You are also invited to the IEW program that precedes the "Beyond The Wall" film screening: "EDTalks: Access & International Education." A separate RSVP is required. Click here. ***
