THE CHILDREN REVOLTS

Mayakov+sky Platform

About the film

A poetic documentary that chronicles the occupation (that the Platform was also part of) of a space, that was once a free school for Black and Brown youth called Emiliano Zapata Street Academy High School and the struggles for free public education in Oakland through the lens of this autonomous space and its remarkable architectural metamorphosis into a 24-hour library and community garden that we lovingly named Biblioteca Popular Victor Martinez as an homage to the Chicano poet.
