Join us for a special screening of SCREENAGERS.
Tuesday, October 22nd – 7 p.m. at South County Middle School
Hosted by the South County Middle PTSO
Tickets: $5
Are you watching kids scroll through their life, with their rapid-fire thumbs and a six-second attention span? Physician and filmmaker Delaney Ruston saw that with her own kids and learned that the average kid spends 6.5 hours a day looking at screens. She wondered about the impact of all this time and about the friction occurring in homes and schools around negotiating screen time – friction she knew all too well.
In Screenagers – as with her award-winning documentaries on mental health – Delaney takes a deeply personal approach as she probes into the vulnerable corners of family life – including her own – to explore struggles over social media, video games, academics and internet addiction.
Through poignant, unexpectedly funny stories, and surprising insights from authors, psychologists, and brain scientists, Screenagers reveals how tech time impacts kids’ development and offers solutions on how adults can empower kids to best navigate the digital world and find balance.
