I Needed Paris follows nine middle school photo students from Gordon Parks Academy in Wichita. The students reimagine how Gordon Parks photographed fashions, portraits, and street photography during his 1950-1952 tenure in Paris as a photographer in the LIFE magazine bureau. The film explores Gordon's foray into composing classical music and his interest in poetry. The documentary also introduces the students to African American expats living in Paris, who share their experiences, hoping to inspire the trajectory of the students' young lives.
