Elementary Genocide is a documentary that examines the relationship between early education and the American prison system. The film explores how federal funding for the construction of prisons in various states is linked to the failure rates of students in the fourth and fifth grades. By analyzing social, political, and personal consequences, the work highlights a system where a significant number of fourth graders read below their grade level and incarceration rates for African-American men exceed college enrollment rates.
The film was written and directed by Rahiem Shabazz, who also served as the executive producer. It was produced by Rasha Entertainment and Rasha Vision Film. The documentary features a cast of individuals appearing as themselves, including Dr. Umar Johnson, Boyce Watkins, Killer Mike, Tracey D. Syphax, and Ed Garnes. Released on January 1, 2014, the production has a total runtime of 66 minutes.
