For the 2020-21 season of this series, we continue to focus on issues related to teen wellness in the areas of health, mental health, sexual health, and substance use and abuse in order to create a community forum for education, communication, understanding, and awareness. Each screening will include an in-depth discussion with filmmakers, film subjects, and/or subject area experts. All programs will take place online until the Smith Rafael Film Center reopens.
A portion of the proceeds for this series will go to support Tamalpais Union High School District (TUHSD) Wellness Centers.
