We attended the New York premiere on Tuesday, May 26 of STRAIGHTLACED: How Gender's Got Us All Tied Up, the latest film from Debra Chasnoff, Executive Director of Groundspark. Our very own advisor, filmmaker Jacki Ochs, was among the many NY Hosts at this event.
Fifty teen voices appear in this 65 minute film (soon to be edited to a more manageable short version for educators). Guest speaker, Mia Herndon of the Third Wave Foundation, said: "These powerful voices speak truth to the issues facing so many teenagers today." What an amazing resource for teachers and trainers out there who are examining the pressures on teenagers around gender and sexuality!
