ITVS - Community Cinema

I am so pleased to announce that The Center for Active Learning is a participant of the ITVS Community Cinema program to screen a documentary entitled  Me Facing Life--Cyntoia's Story, an exploration into the young life of a young woman sentenced to life in prison at 16 years old.   We are looking to host screenings of this film in a school or after school setting, as the film contains a message that speaks to today's youth.  This film is also very inspirational for adults that work with the youth population.
 
Me Facing Life is available for screening April 7 & 8, 2011, and there is no charge to the organization for scheduling a screening.  Youth will be engaged in a discussion about the film after the screening.  We are hoping to engage educators in this project who will incorporate the film screening into their classroom activities.  We also have an interest in screening the film in local juvenile detention centers.  Any organization interested in scheduling a screening should contact me at info@thecenterforactivelearning.org.
