Schema was honored to partner with The Aspen Institute and the Aspen Ideas Festival to create a short film inspired by the the work of Langston Hughes, using motion typography, archival imagery and a modern performance of Hughes’ 1935 poem “Let America Be America Again.” We hope to inspire audiences to engage with Hughes’ seminal work and to provide an ongoing context for these themes today.
