One of Them

Description

A group of high school students plans events to raise awareness about racism, sexism and homophobia. Jamie is shocked when she and her best friend become victims of homophobic name-calling. But she must face up to her own reactions as she realizes that her friend is one of them, and needs her support. And Jamie's boyfriend must decide if he will support Jamie.

One of Them comes with a support package of background information and well-tested classroom activities on the videojacket.
