Robbed: Two Teens. Two lives. One Hope
This documentary takes a raw look at two teenage boys, Rob Jones, from Washington, D.C., who receives an opportunity to attend a public urban boarding school, and Robert Kennedy, a dropout from Milwaukee struggling to find his way. Tracking their strikingly similar backgrounds, their lives diverge as D.C. Rob becomes the first male in his family to go to college while Milwaukee Rob follows in his father’s footsteps to jail. We see firsthand the impact of our public educational system – with lives hanging in the balance. |

Over a decade ago, when Milwaukee had the second highest teen pregnancy rate in the country, Serve made a long-term commitment to an honest and aggressive campaign designed to lower the teen birth rate. But leadership in Milwaukee needed to know why our tactics were so controversial, aggressive, and in your face. So we talked to teens themselves to let them pave the way for our campaigns. The result? Serve is recognized as a contributing force as Milwaukee's teen birthrate plunges.
