Synopsis:

Called a "comics expert" by the San Jose Mercury News, Oliver Chin creates a compelling blend of fact and fiction where a high school class (based in the San Francisco Bay area) grapples with the aftershocks of the catastrophe of 9/11.

But their 11th-grade US history teacher challenges his students to move forward. Can the next generation sort out a world, growing smaller by the day but yet more divided?

Through the eyes of nine students come the disparate yet earnest voices of a multi-cultural world.
