For Ahkeem is an intimate coming-of-age documentary against the backdrop of Ferguson, MO. After a school fight lands 17-year-old Daje Shelton in a court-supervised alternative high school, she’s determined to turn things around and make a better future for herself. The film illuminates challenges that many black teenagers face in America today, and witnesses the strength, resilience, and determination it takes to survive.
Presented in partnership with Princeton University’s Department of African American Studies. Free for University students.
