We presented #RepairingTheWorld 📽️ at #NorwinHighSchool 🏫where community members also were invited. Having victims and members of their families present for the discussion raised the impact of the film. We can't wait to see how students use their power to change the world 🌎.

Last week Teen Screen visited #PittsburghCarmalt to present #RepairingTheWorld : Stories from the Tree of Life to 7th and 8th graders. Students watched and discussed the film; they were curious about the events depicted and inspired to create change in their school and at home.

Our short film programs are popular.👏 This is especially so during #BlackHistoryMonth and #WomensHistoryMonth . Our curated Black Experience in America and Women's History and Empowerment sorts were seen by more than 5,000 students and teachers this year. 💗
