Me and the Light is a short film and education initiative, featuring critically acclaimed movement artist Lil Buck with new original music by Paul Taylor, Valerie June and Drumma Boy.

The film reveals how art can help transform ourselves and our communities struggling with violence.

We’re working with Facing History and Ourselves to launch powerful learning experiences for students about resilience and conscious choices.

As part of the initiative, students will see the film in a theatrical setting, visit historic sites, and produce content revealing their ideas and solutions for peace in our communities.

A local and national deployment strategy for the film is being designed to continue connecting communities of artists, students, mindfulness experts, educators, law enforcement professionals, elected officials, and foundations to share effective solutions for addressing trauma at the root level.
