The Education of Omarina is a FRONTLINE film six years in the making that shows how one innovative program designed to stem the high school dropout crisis has dramatically impacted a set of twins.
One twin, Omarina, benefited from middle school interventions while her twin brother did not. FRONTLINE has stayed with these twins’ story through middle school into high school and now college. The resulting 23-minute film not only illuminates a means of addressing the high school dropout epidemic - but reveals a deeply personal story of siblings coming into adulthood as their paths tragically diverge.
Nominated for a 2017 News and Documentary Emmy Award.
