All of the Above (documentary film)
-
A local (my district) high school teacher creates a class. And a documentary film about it.
All of the Above, follows the transformative journey of high school students from different faith backgrounds who come together for John Camardella’s World Religions class. The film spends significant time in the classroom, capturing the intimate dynamics of these students as they engage in deep, challenging conversations about religion and culture. As a fly on the wall, our small team documented the profound shift that occurred as these young people confronted the preconceived notions of their peers’ faiths.
The students—many of whom come from suburban, homogenous communities—begin by grappling with misunderstanding and apprehension, but over time, they develop a deeper empathy for their peers' beliefs and practices. This process of self-reflection and cross-cultural understanding extends beyond the classroom, as the students navigate their own personal growth and shifting identities. All of the Above is a powerful exploration of how education inspires change, sparks self-discovery, and fosters a more compassionate society.
