SCREENAGERS: Growing Up in the Digital Age
Special Screening and Discussion
Sunday, September 23rd
2:00 p.m.
Pendleton Community Public Library
595 E. Water St.
Pendleton, IN 46064
The Pendleton Community Public Library is hosting a special screening of the documentary SCREENAGERS: Growing Up in the Digital Age, an award-winning film that probes into the vulnerable corners of family life and depicts messy struggles over social media, video games and academics. Screenagers is the first feature documentary to explore the impact of screen technology on kids and offer parents and families proven solutions that work. What started out as a personal story for one has grown into a national movement, helping millions of teens and their families navigate growing up in a world with instant access to screens.
Following the film, Stephanie Nancarrow with the Indiana State Police will lead a discussion on important related topics. Stephanie worked at the Indiana Department of Child Services (DCS) as a family case manager for 5 years specializing in sexual abuse cases during her later years. Stephanie is now a youth educator with the Indiana State Police and ICAC Task Force educating youth on social media safety.
ABOUT THE FILM
http://www.screenagersmovie.com
Physician and filmmaker, Delaney Ruston decided to make SCREENAGERS when she found herself constantly struggling with her two kids about screen time. Ruston felt guilty and confused, not sure what limits were best, especially around mobile phones, social media, gaming, and how to monitor online homework. Hearing repeatedly how other parents were equally overwhelmed, she realized this is one of the biggest, unexplored parenting issues of our time.
As a director, Ruston turned the camera on her own family and others—revealing stories of messy struggles over social media, video games, academics and internet addiction. We meet Hannah, a 14-year old victim of social media bullying who struggled trying to hide her social media use from her mom. And Andrew, whose love of video games turned into an addiction taking him from earning straight A’s to flunking out of college.
Interwoven into these stories, are cutting edge science and insights from thought leaders Peggy Orenstein, Sherry Turkle, Simon Sinek, as well as leading brain scientists who present evidence on the real changes in the brain when kids are on screens. SCREENAGERS goes far beyond exposing the risks of screen time, it reveals multiple approaches on how parents and educators can work with kids to help them achieve a healthy amount of screen time.
