Here is some of the work done at Buck for the ‘Miracle of Morning’ episode of Netflix’s ‘We The People’ series, a Schoolhouse Rock-inspired musical anthology series from Chris Nee and Kenya Barrisa meant to educate youngsters about civics in the US. The project was a Higher Ground production, the production company of Michelle and Barrack Obama. This specific episode was based on a Poem by Amanda Gorman, who also did the narration.
At the first annual Children’s and Family Emmy award show in 2022, the series took home the Emmy for Outstanding Short Form Program.
