This paper discusses Tidepools (Card 2017) a film-based ethnography produced to explore Black and Latino student experiences at community college. Tidepools (Card 2017) offers an innovative visual approach to data presentation and illuminates the importance of faculty and student relationships for Black and Latino successful academic experiences. Data were collected and analysed in two stages. Firstly, a short documentary film (N = 10) was produced using participant led visual methodology and a process-oriented analysis applied to understand student experiences at community college. Secondly, a discussion and pre- and post-survey (N = 50) were completed after screening Tidepools (Card 2017) at the National Consortium on College Men of Color Working Group, 2017 to assess the impact of the film on faculty members. Tidepools (Card 2017) reflects on and illuminates the importance of faculty and student relationships for Black and Latino student achievement at community college and has implications for the use of visual research and the professional development of faculty and policymakers to support Black and Latino students at community college.

本文讨论了 Tidepools (Card 2017) 一种基于电影的民族志，旨在探索黑人和拉丁裔学生在社区大学的经历。Tidepools (Card 2017) 为数据呈现提供了一种创新的视觉方法，并阐明了教师和学生关系对于黑人和拉丁裔成功学术经验的重要性。分两个阶段收集和分析数据。首先，使用参与者主导的视觉方法和面向过程的分析制作了一部短纪录片（N = 10），以了解社区大学的学生体验。其次，在 2017 年全国有色人种大学生联盟工作组放映 Tidepools（卡 2017）后，完成了一次讨论和前后调查（N = 50），以评估电影对教职员工的影响。
