LEARN MORE BELOW

Teachers who...
Incorporate film and broadcast media into interdisciplinary projects find their devalued teens motivated and transformed! Underachievers who learn how to analyze the root causes of problems realize they can be
vital change-agents for their communities.
When students understand...
how advertising and media manipulate self-respect, responsibility, and initiative, they start to realize what they buy matters, and why.
Don't let...
low test scores, limited vocabularies, and low expectations limit your students to low-paying military service, dead-end jobs, or worse! Join innovative teachers and administrators focusing on the two most valued skills of the future: analytical thinking and collaboration!

Film is ideal for teaching valuable life-long skills because it

  • Incorporates current politics, policies, and economies.
  • Integrates problem solving into group discussions.
  • Gives disadvantaged, underachieving students confidence and skills!
  • Includes actual students who’ve become community change-agents!
  • Creates an online network of teachers and students.
