Film Screening and Panel Discussion at Boulder High School - February 16th
Join us for a screening of the
award winning documentary,
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. Written, produced and directed by Jennifer Siebel Newsom, the film premiered at Sundance Film Festival in 2015.
The screening of the film will be followed by a panel discussion featuring community leaders, including:
- Stan Garnett, Boulder County District Attorney
- Susan Caskey, Director, Boulder County Impact
- Michael Vladek, Bringing Forth Personal Coaching and Counseling
- Derek McCoy, YCEP Coordinator, Project PAVE
The Mask You Live In presents the personal narratives of young boys and men and features experts in neuroscience, psychology, sociology, sports, education, and media, further exploring how gender stereotypes are interconnected with race, class, and circumstance. The Mask You Live In ultimately illustrates how we, as a society, can raise a healthier generation of boys and young men.
