Hey, you don't know me but stumbled across this request idly browsing friends of friends and think it sounds like a really interesting project. :)

You've probably already thought of it but The Sarah Jane Adventures definitely comes to mind - particularly Clyde, with his rejection of traditional school work and taking to drawing comics instead in the later series...

The movie Cloud Atlas - there's lots of reading/writing across different historical periods, and POC. I'm especially thinking about the two future segments. (I have a vague memory of Halle Berry's character doing funky-looking stuff with futuristic pop-up screens towards the end.)

And I kind of can't believe I'm about to type this, but screw it, it was the first thing that popped into my head...Sister Act 2. Pure cheese but fits your premise perfectly with the kids being failed by the traditional school system then taking control through music and rap. Been many, many years since I've seen it though, so no idea about specific visuals I'm afraid!

Good luck with the vid!
