December 1, 2017 and January 25, 2018:  “Blacked Out” Documentary Film Screening
In the diverse, progressive town of Highland Park, a disturbing piece of children’s art is found at Irving Primary School.  A group of student filmmakers from Highland Park High School try to solve the mystery of who created it, how it was placed on the primary school’s famous Tile Wall, and why it was allowed to hang there for almost forty years.

 

October 22, 2016: Premier of “Blood, Sweat & Tears” documentary
Thirty years after Highland Park lost the Central Jersey Basketball Championship to New Brunswick on a last second shot, filmmaker John Hulme returns to confront the issues of race, class and religion that simmered below the surface of the game – and how they still ripple through today.
