Film features five students from New York City who were accepted to Mount St. Joseph Academy, a private school in Rutland. Their participation on the basketball team sparked a statewide controversy. Carlton’s film reveals the resistance they endured, both publicly and behind the scenes. It also exposes many of the contemporary elements fueling modern day racism.

The Vermont International Film Festival is a non-profit organization whose mission is to enrich the community and bring the world to Vermont through film.
Launched in 2014 by a group of filmmakers, archivists and concerned members of the public who wished to ensure the survival of artists’ films in Vermont, VAMP officially became a program of VTIFF in May 2015. The VAMP committee has broadened the initial concept to include all types of films and videos made by VT filmmakers or shot in Vermont.
