Documentary Screening and Lily Tomlin Appearance: "Teach Your Children Well"

Artful Thinking's Out at the Movies is proud to present the premiere of Gary Takesian's "Teach Your Children Well" with a very special guest appearance by the award-winning actress and comedian Lily Tomlin, who narrates the film.        .

Every school day thousands of young people who identify as either lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender face harassment, bullying, and even violence for simply being who they are. The documentary film focuses on the challenging issues of homophobia and violence in our schools as directed against our LGBT youth. The primary desire with this project is to change the consciousness that leads our children to commit acts of violence, by teaching acceptance and respect for the right of others to be who they are.

It is the intention that the message of this film expands beyond theaters and film festivals, reaching into the areas where these aggressive behaviors take place: our schools, churches, homes and neighborhoods.

Lola's Mexican Cuisine, across from the theater, will host a VIP reception prior to the screening. Please contact Paul at  949-290-1770 for details.
