Oakland Strong
0.0/10
Overview
Oakland is a city desperate for solutions. These strong kids are the answer hiding in plain sight. For over a decade, Coach Mike Jenkins has taught Olympic weightlifting for free—right in the heart of Oakland, California. With zero city support, he’s produced national and international champions, college-bound scholars, and confident leaders. But strength alone can’t keep the lights on. Oakland Strong follows his fight to save the program, as he brings his kids to City Hall to lift—for recognition, and for the city to finally take notice. This short documentary is a rally cry for generational health, community investment, and the power of one man to rewrite the narrative. Will Oakland finally recognize its own strength?
