Personal Statement
Date: Thursday, April 23
Time: 1pm
“Personal Statement” is a feature-length documentary that follows Karoline, Christine and Enoch through their senior year and into college. They work tirelessly as peer college counselors to realize better futures for themselves and their peers. They struggle and they stumble, but refuse to succumb to the barriers that prevent so many low-income students from attending and graduating from college.
“The film feels particularly timely in the wake of the college admissions scandal. The experiences of the three students in ‘Personal Statement’ are much closer to the American norm than the elite world of, say, the Georgetown tennis team.”
