Reviews

Huge shares of US parents say they want to help their kids learn about race, but few of us make serious, sustained efforts to meet that challenge in practice.  In “Families Embracing Anti-bias Values” we meet a wonderful variety of mostly young families – diverse along lines of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, ability, family structure, and more – earnestly striving to close the gap between the anti-bias values they claim and the way they actually raise their children and live their lives. We look forward to screening this film for our EmbraceRace community and encourage you to do the same with your community. Be sure to leave time for plenty of discussion!

Watch this film. Then talk about it. Then watch it again. 

This film cuts through common myths about anti-bias education by showing us that families want and need access to programs where each and every child’s development around identity, diversity, justice, and activism is intentionally nurtured in community. 

Thank you to the brave parents and caregivers who shared a bit about your lives so that we might strengthen and recommit to the kinds of early childhood practices that can change the world.
