The Itasca Project is a business led alliance focused on strengthening the future of our Twin Cities area for all citizens.  The Itasca Project produced the Close the Gap documentary to show the very real issues created by race, class and place disparities here in the Twin Cities metro area.  By also profiling existing solutions addressing these issues, the goal is to inspire community members and organizations to find ways to close the gaps.  
 
The documentary is a series of five 30 minute episodes plus a 60 minute retrospective and is available to community members on one DVD at no cost.  Shipping will begin in June.
