The Ida B. Wells-Barnett High School Headlight documentary crew investigates one of the oldest questions of human civilization: do teenage boys dap each other up because they want to hold hands? Join us as we dive deep into the male psyche, through a series of interviews and documentary-style specials on the history of the gesture and its evolution through the ages. Through this project, we will find out once and for all if teenage boys really dap each other up because of something more, something vital to human connection, and maybe then, we’ll know a little more about what it means to be human.
