The NPES Social Justice Film Series extends key aspects of our curriculum to a broader audience, including parents, students, faculty, our local community, and other schools, enabling NPES to contribute to important conversations about our city’s well-being. We value multiculturalism and diverse perspectives in our classrooms, and teach how differences can enrich our community, deepen learning, and promote a more equitable and just society.

Thank you for joining us for Anxious Nation, part of our 2025 Spring Film Series, which was followed by a conversation with filmmaker Laura Morton and her daughter, Sevey. 

Past films and filmmaker conversations include: 

• André Robert Lee's The Road to Justice
• Josh Chuck's Chinatown Rising
• Krys Kornmeier's Normal Isn’t Real
• NPES Alumni parent, Greg Jacobs's The Road Up
• Jane M. Wagner's Break the Game
• Yuriko Gamo Romer's Baseball Behind Barbed Wire

As a school that has demonstrated a strong commitment to the arts since its founding, a film series seemed the perfect vehicle for this work. Please enjoy some photos from past gatherings.

Film showings are free and open to the public. Students must be accompanied by an adult.
