Film Field Trips is a unique education program that exposes students to new ideas through film and discussion. We begin our FFT by prioritizing students" mental wellness and boundaries. Then we provide some context for the film, highlight Media Literacy skills, an introduction to our organization (exposing students to the concept of using art as a lens for understanding the world around them). Next we watch the film (45 minutes in length). Following the screening, a BIPOC, trauma-informed facilitator leads the group through a 20-30 minute student-centered dialogue. Schools may also chose to participate in a guided gallery tour. Films Offered: Mighty Times: The Legacy of Rosa Parks (themes of: Civil Rights Movement, boycott, civil disobedience, BLM) Mighty Times: The Children"s March (themes of: Civil Rights Movement, youth-led activism, resistance, BLM) Inocente (themes of: homelessness, immigration, art as self-expression, Mexican-American) Viva la Causa (themes of: Workers' Rights Movement, immigration, Latinx rights) Gisela"s Legacy (themes of: Holocaust survivor, resilience, CT-filmmaker) And Then They Came For Us (themes of: AAIP rights, the Interment of Japanese Americans during WWII, cross-cultural resistance and resilience)
