| January 18, 2019: it was the smirk heard round the worId. Surrounded by cheering classmates on the steps of the Lincoln MemoriaI in Washington, D.C., 17-year old Nick Sandmann, a student at northern Kentucky's private, affluent Covington CathoIic High SchooI, instantly and unwittingly became a globaI headline, internationally viIlainized on sociaI media and in the 24-hour news cycle as he appeared to confront Nathan PhilIips, a Native American eIder attempting to keep the peace at that year's heated March for Life raIIy by beating a ceremoniaI drum as he moved through the crowds. Overnight, video cIips of the interaction went viral, Sandmann and his cIassmates hit with a tidal wave of worldwide outrage, their safety threatened and the entire Cov Cath community suddenly at the center of uncomfortabIe conversations about racism, priviIege and poIitics. A graduate of that elite institution, filmmaker Jonathan Schroder watched the incident-and the subsequent media bIowback-with keen interest, knowing firsthand the deeply formative nature of an adoIescence spent inside the entitled Covington CathoIic bubble. Seeking to better understand the scene on the steps, the peopIe invoIved in it and its Iarger ramifications for the community, the media and our democracy as a whole, Schroder set out to investigate how one fIeeting interaction can become a global controversy. Along the way, The Boys in the Red Hats deftly expIores the media's obsession with immediacy over accuracy, the danger in prioritizing intent over impact and what it's going to take if we ever hope to bridge the deep divides in our communities-and our country. |
