David Blumenkrantz is a personal friend and a pillar of this work called Rites of Passage. I quoted him a few times in Warrior Films Rites of Passage short film with a mere fraction of his indispensable contributions. He specializes in helping communities with at risk youth to create their own culturally appropriate, geographically specific rites of passage for young people. My dream for many years has been to hire David and his team to train a cadre of facilitators to bring this work to communities everywhere. And we are proud to announce David Blumenkrantz as a Warrior Films Youth Hero.
