Child Advocates’ “Undoing Racism” is a documentary exploring the disproportionality of African-American children in the child welfare system and how one nonprofit agency in Indianapolis is fighting to reverse that legacy for children of color. This is the story of people who experience life-changing reversals of attitude and cultural racial bias.
Child Advocates has launched this 60-minute documentary on undoing racism and what it might take to do so.
The film follows individuals in the Indianapolis community through Undoing Racism workshops held at Child Advocates. More than 50 workshops have been held at Child Advocates’ office with more than 2,000 individuals trained.
As tensions in the U.S. continue to rise with issues around race, it is imperative to allow individuals to talk about race in a constructive environment. Child Advocates hopes this film will inspire individuals to participate in a workshop and help inspire change in their own communities.
The 60-minute documentary “Undoing Racism” will air on WTIU Public Television on Aug. 31 at 10 p.m. and Sept. 3 at 2:30 p.m. It will also air on WFYI Public Television on Oct. 12 at 9 p.m.
