TFI Alum 'American Promise' Headed To NYFF
2013-08-19
An alum of the Tribeca All Access® in 2011, Joe Brewster and Michèle Stephenson's American Promise is among the record high 35 titles that will be screening at this year's New York Film Festival (Sept 27-Oct 13).
The film, which had its world premiere in the beginning of the year at the Sundance Film Festival and has been riding the festival circuit since, follows Brewster and Stephenson's son, Idris, and his friend, Suen, from their enrollment in the Dalton School as children through their high school graduations in this devastating, years-in-the-making documentary that takes a hard look at race and class in America.
The film will be released in theaters in October.
