Film Summary:

Students of the Jubilee School have been collecting oral histories and tales of courage and resistance as told to them by their community elders.  In Walls and Doors: Inspirations from Our Elders, the elders are both witnesses and creators of under-told parts of history.  Making this video has transmitted a legacy from one generation to the next and given the Jubilee youth a sense of the power of their voices and ability to create change.
