SJIWFF Scene & Heard Screening: The Mask You Live In
March 8, 2015 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
THE MASK YOU LIVE IN (88 min, PG13)
The Mask You Live In follows boys and young men as they struggle to stay true to themselves while negotiating America’s narrow definition of masculinity. Compared to girls, research shows that boys in the U.S. are more likely to be diagnosed with a behavior disorder, prescribed stimulant medications, fail out of school, binge drink, commit a violent crime, and/or take their own lives. Jennifer Siebel Newsom and The Representation Project asks: As a society, how are we failing our boys and how can we can raise a healthier generation of boys and young men?
Please join us after the screening for a Q&A panel.
