On August 28, POV presents  at 10 
​p.m.
 on PBS. Produced by Chicago's Kartemquin Films, the quietly powerful film is an intimate portrait of three African
​-​
American boys as they come of age. Filmed over six years by director Margaret Byrne, they deal with the same issues that every boy approaching the leap to manhood faces—and others triggered by their specific and often precarious conditions.

In POV's Social Media Toolkits Dropbox folder for the film, please find images, film clips and a trailer with closed captioning files, sample social media language and other information.

On the night of broadcast, POV invites stations and partners to use the hashtag #RaisingBertiePBS to join the conversation with our audience around the film.
