A Community Concern is produced by Susan Zeig, a documentary filmmaker whose work focuses on issues of social concern. A Community Concern is a documentary about people who refuse to accept the systems failures, and are working for change. Their spirit, passion and commitment shows that when organizers, parents, youth and educators work together, they are successful. It brings together stories of people facing different challenges, but share similar goals. The film and outreach project is coming at a particularly opportune time.

A Community Concern offers a framework for addressing many local education needs we face in the United States today.
