Abstract:

The independent documentary Raising Bertie was filmed in Bertie County of eastern North Carolina. Shot over six years, the film tracks the lives of three young African American men as they grow from their teenage years into adulthood. The result is an intimate chronicle of growing up in a small, impoverished rural community, while facing racism.
