The electrifying documentary, 'PUSHOUT: The Criminalization of Black Girls in Schools,' co-written and directed by award-winning filmmaker Jacoba Atlas, has been named as an official selection in the 11th annual DTLA Film Festival, set to take place October 23-27, 2019 at Regal L.A. LIVE, located at 1000 W Olympic Blvd in downtown LA. Making its Los Angeles premiere, “PUSHOUT” is among the lineup of 36 feature-length movies, which includes 17 narrative and 19 documentary films. The doc is based on two books by Dr. Monique W. Morris – that is, the groundbreaking book of the same name, “PUSHOUT: The Criminalization of Black Girls In Schools” as well as “Sing a Rhythm, Dance a Blues: Education for the Liberation of Black and Brown Girls” (The New Press). The doc confronts the criminalization and miseducation of black girls that leads to their alarming high school dropout rates and increased representation in the juvenile justice system.
