Screenagers: A Film about Growing Up in the Digital Age

TICKETS AVAILABLE AT THE DOOR!!

Delaney Ruston, director of Screenagers, reveals the real life struggle between parents and their children and the use of technology. The film not only authentically explores the obsessions with video games and social media, but also shares cutting edge science and insights from thought leaders such as Peggy Orenstein, Sherry Turkle, Simon Sinek, as well as leading brain scientists who present evidence on real changes happening in the brain. Parents, teens, educators, and others will have the opportunity to begin a dialogue about this topic in our community.
