Yvan Iturriaga ’03 and Darren Colston ’02 introduce and screen their web series The North Pole, followed by a Q&A session.
Join us for a screening of this comedic web series about three best friends born and raised in Oakland, CA who struggle to stay rooted as their neighborhood becomes a hostile environment. Nina, Marcus, and Benny fight, dream, and plot schemes to save the place they call home. Facing both gentrification and global warming, they combat evil landlords, deportation, crazy geoengineering plots, and ultimately each other.
The North Pole, with Season Two now streaming online, follows a group of friends navigating a rapidly changing Oakland, centering on how the endearing squad's lives intersect with race, economics and gentrification.
