Tulsa’s Youngest Filmmakers Just Made a Documentary—And a Statement
Through interviews, creative direction, and original footage, the film explores identity, history, resilience, and what it means to grow up in the shadow—and light—of Greenwood.
In We R One, Tulsa’s youngest filmmakers don’t just capture their community—they reflect it, reframe it, and reclaim it.
Crafted by a group of Black youth from Tulsa, this new documentary project is raw, vibrant, and deeply necessary. From behind and in front of the camera, these storytellers document their lived experience—of being young, Black, and brilliant in a city still healing from historic wounds. It’s part memoir, part movement, and entirely theirs.

We R One is a story of a new chapter for Tulsa youth who refuse to be written out.
