'See You Yesterday' is a Sci-Fi Black Lives Matter Anthem for the Next Generation

'While the blockbuster Marvel franchise Avengers: Endgame breaks box office records with its epic, grand-scale story about the power and risk of using time travel, a smaller — but no less epic — independent film has two black Bronx Science students way ahead of the whole inventing time travel curve. It's especially poignant that the See You Yesterday 's two young protagonists, CJ and Sebastian, attend Bronx Science, given reports last month of the abysmal admission numbers for black students at NYC's specialized schools. Director Stefon Bristol told WNYC's cultural critic Rebecca Carroll that it was especially important to have the students attend Bronx Science, which gave only 12 of its 800 slots to black students for 2019.' -- WNYC News
