Not In Our Town: Class Actions

Right before the Thanksgiving holiday, we shipped off our next film, Not In Our Town: Class Actions to PBS. 

Not in Our Town: Class Actions features three stories of students and their communities standing together to stop hate and bullying. Premieres on PBS stations in 2012.
