Oakland Speaks
Oakland Speaks, first screened at "Building Oakland for Everyone: A Summit on Jobs, Housing, and Justice," tells the story of five Oakland residents involved with community organizations attempting to overcome economic obstacles. The ten-minute film by Kennedy Helm shows the reality of life in Oakland - a city struggling with low wage jobs and unemployment, overpriced housing, and unsafe and unhealthy neighborhood conditions - but also illustrates Oaklanders' pride and hope in their city.
