Newark-based film-making duo Marylou and Jerome Bongiorno have produced three films which highlight issues specific to urban America and featuring important events, people, and places in Newark.
Two of these films, The Rule and RUST will be available to stream via PBS throughout the month of June in honor of Juneteenth.
The Rule explores school reform in cities and highlights the story of
St. Benedict's Preparatory School.
RUST explores the causes of generational poverty in urban centers and offers solutions.
NRBP has proudly supported the Bongiornos and their films via our Renaissance Newark Foundation and through partnering on a public, virtual screening and discussion for RUST.
