The Story

About The Project

Bullying. Domestic violence. Drugs. Sexual abuse. Gender identity. Kids have stories; now they have a voice.

The Kids is a transformative television show that chronicles lives of real high school kids in Los Angeles, focusing on themes of social justice from the perspective of LA youth. Los Angeles is a city rich in economic, racial, and social diversity, and the show will strive to reflect the diversity in our own backyard. The Kids will bring riveting stories to the small screen while lending a voice to LA teens who rarely get the chance to speak up and be heard.
