We are fortunate to have REFLECTING RESILIENCE as the opening film for our 20th Anniversary special FREE in-person co-screening event with Seattle Latino Film Festival Mt. Baker Meaningful Movies Group and Mt. Baker Community Club. This event takes place on Thursday October 12th at 6:00 pm at Mt. Baker Community Club, 2811 Mt. Rainier Drive S Seattle,WA.
SHARE is a program where screenwriting and filmmaking are used as a redemptive tool for incarcerated communities around the State of Washington that might not otherwise have a voice. In this short film directed by Lindy Boustedt, we interviewed SHARE students at Echo Glen High School, a juvenile detention facility in King County, WA, what resilience looks like and means to them.
