Jumping the Line tells the story of a private Christian high school producing The Wiz as their spring musical. It is an exercise in empathy as the students/staff wrestle with how to tell this traditionally all-black story with a diverse cast of students. It is an exploration in the value of listening to the stories of non-majority students as the drama club seeks to specifically invite students of color to participate in the theater program in an intentional way.
The film is produced and directed by Michael Lentz.
