In the ghetto of South Central, L.A., where Latino- and African- American kids struggle against a myriad of destructive influences, there is an option for a better life. Troubled teens discover their talents and self dignity through "Colors United", a performing arts group created for inner city youth. This uplifting and emotional documentary offers powerful insights into the thoughts and feelings of these "at risk" children. Oscar, a Mexican who grew up in Watts, was dealing drugs and stealing cars at the age of fourteen. His younger brother was in jail and his parents were shot in a violent crime. Exposed to the demanding discipline of the program, and bolstered by group support, he found the resources within himself to aspire to a college education. Filmed over the course of a year, Colors Straight Up takes us to the heart of youth in an embattled community. There is racial tension, explosive family scenes, run-ins with the law, and even death; yet there is also comraderie, passionate performances and exuberance. High School College Adult

Freshman year. What could be more challenging, disorienting, exhilarating, depressing? Two award-winning filmmakers-one male, one female-returned to college with their cameras. They spent a year living in a co-ed, multicultural, freshman residence hall at Stanford University. They shot at 2:00 AM bull sessions, in co-ed bathrooms, classrooms and deans offices, and on trips home during winter break. Their unprecedented cinema verite documentary captures the freshman world of scary freedoms and new lifestyles in all its thrilling anxiety. The students discover they face much more than the traditional academic pressures. Campus life is wracked with unexpected social conflicts: Freedom of speech vs. anti-harassment codes; Multicultural education vs. western culture; Alcohol, drugs, and dating; Grade anxiety, cultural alienation, and the lure of dropping out; Maintaining ethnic and gay identity on a white, heterosexual campus. Frosh traces a dramatic journey of social experimentation and intellectual curiosity, cultural clashes and spiritual crisis, academic pressure and adjustment problems, but ultimately, individual self-discovery within a diverse community. Nothing less than a contemporary American coming of age story, Frosh is destined to become a classic of student life. Frosh's frank and open approach to gender, racial, political, and academic issues common to all campuses will help prepare any student for the challenges of college life. Ideal for use in: Freshman year, residential life, counseling, and other student activities programs, and for training professional and para-professional staff.
