The Call Me Out My Name documentary is currently in final post-production. While color correction and audio mixing are wrapping up, the full version is available to view now.
Why This Film Matters
At its core, Call Me Out My Name is about more than just education. It’s a story of visibility, justice, and survival. Students from Ohio’s most underserved communities are too often left out of the conversation—this film changes that.
Using real voices and lived experiences, the documentary elevates those who have been told they don’t belong. And it reminds us that solutions don’t come from the top down—they come from listening.
Deep Ohio Roots, National Impact
Set against the backdrop of Ohio’s infamous DeRolph ruling, this story couldn’t be more grounded in the state’s cultural and political history. However, the issues it raises—unequal access to education, generational poverty, systemic failure—are not unique to Ohio.
In fact, the Call Me Out My Name documentary speaks to audiences across the country. It’s a film about all of us, and about what happens when we choose to see each other fully.
