MR. ADVOCATE: Speak Up, Heal Up

The Film

A new teacher’s AI show shakes up a test-obsessed school. Mr. Advocate is a 50-minute narrative film about technology, teacher voice, and the cost of speaking up. It centers Black male educators and was filmed right here in Richmond.

The Conversation

After the film, we’ll talk about speaking up for our kids and taking care of ourselves: teacher voice, parent advocacy, mental health, therapy, and grief. Bring your questions and your experience. Parents, students, educators, and neighbors are all welcome.
