Media Literacy Film Series on Gender and Sexuality

Walnut Avenue Women's Center and Media Watch are launching an educational film series designed for parents, teachers, health professionals, students and all interested.
Mark your Calendars for SEVEN MONDAYS
starting April 9th showtime is 7:30 PM. 

We are proud to present these programs that, too often, aren't available outside of the academic setting.
 All programs will be held upstairs at 303 Walnut Ave., Santa Cruz
 

Programs will be supported with handouts and will have facilitated discussions, which may prove as lively as the programs. Some programs depict sexuality, violence and use explicit language to exemplify media trends. 

Please watch the trailers to get an idea or call Media Watch to discuss.
 Trailer links are below.

Sliding scale donations at the door--no one will be turned away for lack of funds.
