Screenagers Movie: Growing Up in the Digital Age

A Film Presentation: Doors open at 6:30. Film begins at 7pm.

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 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.

SCREENAGERS probes into the vulnerable corners of family life, including the director’s own, and depicts messy struggles over social media, video games, academics and internet addiction. Through poignant and unexpectedly funny stories, along with surprising insights from authors and brain scientists, SCREENAGERS reveals how tech time impacts kids’ development and offers solutions on how adultscan empower kids to best navigate the digital world.
