As a Wisconsin native, one thing that has always sickened me about my state is the terrible racial segregation that is Milwaukee. During my freshman year of college, I decided to make a documentary in which I investigated the situation in Milwaukee, to try and better understand why a city could become and continue to be so racially divided.

The film, which was produced by myself and several classmates, was created as a part of an introductory film class.
