Screening of New Philadelphia Documentary "A Hope That Lights the Way"
The Mayor's Office of Public Engagement invites you to a special screening of the new film, "A Hope That Lights the Way," a documentary that tells the stories of nine community leaders and organizations who are committed to changing the narrative around Black men and boys in Philadelphia. "A Hope That Lights the Way" shines a light on community-based organizations that are investing in our youth and their futures. Along with the screening of the documentary, attendees will have an opportunity to speak with the filmmakers, Temple University research team, and featured community organization leaders that made this film possible.
