Screen "California's Forgotten Children" Documentary in the classroom as many times as you like for one year. You may not monetize from the screenings, only for educational purposes. We’re here to help you every step of the way to ensure this becomes a reality.

Hosting a California’s Forgotten Children documentary screening means a powerful awareness tool and the important conversations it may spark. it means taking responsibility to guide your students through the process and also taking responsibility to prepare yourself with resources and support. It can be a challenging, heartbreaking, life-saving, and rewarding journey all at once!

When students view California’s Forgotten Children Documentary in class, we want them to feel as if they are entering into a safe space and community that is compassionate and understanding. 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys are sexually abused, that means there is a high chance one or more of your students may have been abused and some parts of the stories in the film may be triggering to them as it relates to their own story. We want them to feel comfortable, safe, and empowered when they come see the documentary. Our biggest dream is that the conversations at these screening become part of a larger discussion that fuels the movement and sparks meaningful change for audiences around the world.
