192. Fathers, Films, and Freedom of Expression - TOTM Face to Face #22 - with Wenceslao and Andres

Two high schoolers come together in this TOTM Face to Face conversation. Our host, Wenceslao, is joined by Andres, a senior at Skyline High School in Oakland, CA, and a member of Youth Beat. ➡️➡️➡️ Youth Beat is an incredible organization that provides free digital media instruction for disadvantaged Bay Area students. A future filmmaker, Andres finds common ground and shared humanity with Wenceslao. They share an interest in arts and self-expression; they both have biological fathers that live in Texas rather than with them in the Bay Area; they love accessorizing with rings and bracelets; and they both miss their grandparents.
