Oakland High students pushed for change in a year of uncertainty

What this episode covers

A new documentary, “Homeroom,” shows how Oakland High School’s class of 2020 faced a year of pandemic uncertainty with resilience and perseverance, successfully amplifying calls to end policing in schools even as those schools shut down and their academic milestones were relegated to virtual spaces. Gaby Arvizu, associate producer and sound recordist for the film, and Denilson Garibo, an activist and one of the students featured in the documentary, reflect on the development of the movement, having a film crew capture key moments in high school students' lives, and more than a year of pandemic restrictions.
