”We found seeing this film together with our middle schoolers/high schoolers to be a powerful experience that gave us a lot of material to discuss together - so I would definitely recommend including your kids (recommended for youth, ages 10 and up).“ — South Shore mom

St. John’s is thrilled to invite you to come together in community to view “SCREENAGERS: Growing Up in the Digital Age,” a documentary about the biggest parenting issue of our time. Starting at 6:00pm with pizza, this event is OPEN TO THE COMMUNITY (adults and youth, ages 10 and older) and FREE (with an optional suggested donation of $7/pp or $20 max/family to cover pizza, popcorn and the movie).
Are you watching kids scroll through life, with their rapid-fire thumbs and a six-second attention span? Physician and filmmaker Delaney Ruston saw that happening with her own kids and began a quest to uncover how it might impact their development. As with her other two award-winning documentaries on mental health, Ruston 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, and unexpectedly funny stories, along with surprising insights from authors, psychologists, and brain scientists, SCREENAGERS reveals how tech time impacts kids’ development and also offers solutions on how adults can empower their kids to best navigate the digital world to find balance.
SCREENAGERS addresses the most pervasive parenting issue of our time head on—depicting teen struggles over social media, video games and internet addiction. The film empowers kids to best navigate the digital world and provides practical resources to help them do it.
After the movie (run time is approximately 67 minutes), feel free to stay to discuss what resonated, share tips, and deepen our connection as we navigate how technology can infiltrate our youths’ lives. Hope you can join us! Please RSVP below with number of attendees, and thank you for considering making a donation to offset costs for this community event!
