This documentary follows designer-activists Emily Pilloton and Matthew Miller to the poorest county in in North Carolina where they help high school students transform both the community and their lives. The year-long, full-scale design and build project does much more than just teach basic construction skills: it shows ten teenagers the power of design-thinking to re-invent not just their town but their own sense of what’s possible.
A panel discussion will follow the film, featuring local organizations working with youth to design and build a better future.
