Two school initiatives—Global Education and Diversity—come together at this film screening.

Feature Film: Long Way from Home (82 minutes)

Three smart girls enter top high schools and confront worlds very different from the ones they come from. All Catlin Gabel community members, except young children, are urged to join the Diversity Steering Committee for this film that is so relevant to the work we are doing at the school. Expect lively discussion to follow.

Hosts: Diversity Steering Committee members Paul Andrichuk,  Allen Schauffler, David Ellenberg, Zalika Gardner, Brett Mathes, Ann Fyfield, Veronica Ledoux 

Children's Film: Rights from the Heart (I & II) (80 minutes)

Based on the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of a Child, these short, nonverbal films engage even the youngest audience members in conversations about equity and diversity.  Funded by the National Film Board of Canada, these films address topics from the right to self-expression, homelessness, and racism with innovative and beautiful animation techniques.  Suitable for children age 5 and older. 

Hosts: Nance Leonhardt & Spencer White
