Project Unlock the Cities follows 15 college students from New Jersey's EOF (Educational Opportunity Fund) program as they travel through New York City, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C., many for the first time. The film captures moments of awe, culture shock, reflection, and honest conversations about race, history, and identity. As they explore monuments, museums, and neighborhoods, the students confront the past and begin to see their futures more clearly. What starts as a school trip becomes a powerful journey that opens minds, sparks ambition, and reveals a deeper sense of purpose.
