We are highlighting “Notes From The Field”, a play written and performed by Anna Deavere Smith. You can watch it now on HBO MAX and please take a look at the trailer below.

“One of the most hailed and provocative theatre artists of our time, Anna Deavere Smith, leads a new installation of powerful first-person storytelling in Notes From the Field. Urgent and inspiring, it depicts the personal accounts of students, parents, teachers, and administrators caught in America’s school-to-prison pipeline. Investigating a justice system that pushes minors from poor communities out of the classroom and into incarceration, Notes From the Field shines a light on a lost generation of American youth. Drawn from interviews with more than 250 people living and working within a challenged system, Anna Deavere Smith continues her mastery of the documentary solo performance by stimulating awareness and, ultimately, change for the better. “ - https://www.annadeaveresmith.org/category/notes-from-the-field/
