Krishaun Branch at Urban Prep graduation.

Mon. Sept. 12 at 10pm on WKAR-HD 23.1 | Accompany two African-American teens on their journey to achieve a dream of graduating from college.The largely invisible and often crushing struggles of young African-American men come vividly—and heroically—to life in All the Difference, which traces the paths of two teens from the South Side of Chicago who dared to dream a seemingly impossible dream: to graduate from college.

As this intimate film shows, Robert Henderson and Krishaun Branch’s determination started them on the road to success, but it was the support from people in their lives—parents, grandparents, teachers and mentors— that brought them to their destination.
