Charting more than 50 years of extraordinary impact, this documentary opens a window into a remarkable chain of success stories born from the visionary teaching philosophy of educator Marshall L. Davis Sr.
In the shadow of Miami’s downtown skyline within one of the most marginalized and dangerous neighborhoods in America, the Marshall L. Davis Sr. African Heritage Cultural Arts Center became an unlikely engine of excellence through what began as an after-school program – and grew into one of the most innovative arts education models in the United States.
Filmed across America over three years and relaying a story that spans five decades, this documentary follows Davis, his devoted staff, and the young people whose lives were transformed within the center’s walls.
