Bearing Witness is a platform for our youth to tell their own story.

Come see short films by Boston-area high school students that give them the opportunity to explore the world through their own lens, including a mini-doc by summer intern, Isaiah Jean Fontaine, on the Boston Black Lives Matter movement. Stick around for live performances, DJ sessions and more!

Now in its 10th year, Bearing Witness is a critical opportunity for our young people to tell their own stories. To bear witness is the act of giving evidence to confirm that the events happened, that words were spoken, that we were there. At such a pivotal moment in our community’s struggle for racial and economic justice, the ability to shape and share one’s own narrative has become essential.
