Mon., May 23
La Guardia Community College

Tues., May 24
Teach for America

Hagop Kevorkian Center for Near Eastern Studies at NYU

Thurs., May 26

We’re planning our Fall Tour including stops in Virginia, Massachusetts, Oregon, Arizona, Georgia and Michigan, as well as Europe and Asia.  Whether you’ve seen Tested, or hope we bring a screening to your city, consider a tax-deductible donation to our efforts!

TESTED

WORLD PREMIERE Attending NYC’s elite public schools – Stuyvesant, Bronx Science and Brooklyn Tech – can set students up for future success, but first they have to beat the odds to claim a coveted spot. Each year, middle-school students pin all of their hopes on a single test: the Specialized High Schools Admissions Test (SHSAT). But issues of racial diversity persist, calling into question the apparent even playing field the SHSAT provides. Tested explores questions of access as it follows a group of students preparing for the test.

Curtis Chin, who made the documentary “Vincent Who?” about the murder of Vincent Chin and its continuing relevance today, is in New York filming his latest project, called “Tested,” which follows a group of 8th graders preparing to take the test that will give them the chance to attend one of New York City’s specialized high schools.

Curtis has less than a month to raise $20,000. Help him reach his fundraising goal! Check out the video trailer and if you want to support his project, find out more on his Kickstarter page at http://kck.st/15tsnXP
