In 1971, when discussions about how to integrate their school system break down, the community of Durham, North Carolina agrees to bring in Bill Riddick(Babou Ceesay) to conduct a series of summits(charrettes) to help them move forward with desegregation.

The problem isn’t that it’s bad. It's good. But it fails to stand out from a crowd of similar films.
