DOCS & DIALOGUE

Docs & Dialogue (D&D) is a bi-monthly virtual documentary screening and discussion series led by EVC’s young people whose lives and communities are most impacted by systemic inequities. Through EVC’s nearly 40 year archive of 200+ youth-produced films, these individuals share their stories about the world as they see it –with all its problems and possibilities. 

 

Since launching in 2020, D&D has covered a wide range of topics about the identities, communities, and systems shaping the lives of young New Yorkers. Here are some of our favorite highlights from past events:
