Tonight (10/8) PBS will begin airing the first in a 4-part documentary called Citizen Nation, which examines the "We the People" program, in which the APPSE programs at East and West participate.
This film was shot throughout the 2023-24 school year and features a selection of We the People teams throughout the country, including Wauwatosa West. Because East competed against West twice, students from both schools may appear on screen.
More importantly, however, this documentary offers a look at the dedication and passion that students and educators have for We the People. Many program alumni have commented that it changed their lives.
The documentary airs at 8pm on PBS (Channel 10.1 in Milwaukee) tonight (10/8), and continues at the same time on the three successive Tuesdays.
