We are humbled and honored that our documentary, “Beating the Odds” has received national attention from the independent film festival community. It will be an honor to showcase our film at the 10th Annual Charlotte Black Film Festival on the weekend of April 23rd, 2020, in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Beating the Odds highlights the trials our students face and the life-changing mission of CIS of Atlanta. The compelling story highlights the students we serve, along with our CEO, Frank Brown’s story about overcoming challenges to become the leader he is today.

Special thanks to our visionary filmmakers, Jessica & Jason Young who helped us tell our story in such a compelling way, Frank Brown for sharing his personal story and our CIS of Atlanta students for participating in this important effort.
