*Stolen Education (2013, NR, 67 min.)?*Stolen Education documents the untold story of Mexican-American school children who challenged discrimination in Texas schools in the 1950?s and changed the face of education in the Southwest. The film portrays the courage of these young people, testifying in an era when fear and intimidation were used to maintain racial hierarchy and control. The students won the case, but for almost sixty years the case was never spoken about in the farming community where they lived despite its significance.? The film documents not only an important moment in Mexican American history, but also provides important context to understand our current educational system?s enduring legacy of segregation, discrimination and racism.
