CHILDREN AND
YOUTH
FACEBOOK FOLLIES
With nearly a billion people all over the
world having signed on, Facebook has
fundamentally changed the way millions of
people connect and communicate – but
not without consequences.
Facebook Follies looks at some of the
unexpected results and impact, negative
and positive, of people sharing their
personal information on social media sites.
Our relationships, our thoughts, our
pastimes, our memories, our lives and
deaths are all now routinely posted online.
Social media represents a paradigm shift
in the way we communicate, and inevitably,
such change is accompanied by mishaps
and trouble, as we learn new limits.
Facebook Follies introduces us to people
whose lives were dramatically changed for
the worse because of indiscreet or
questionable posts, or as the victims of
online criminal activity -- they lost their
jobs, their marriages, their dignity, or even
ended up in jail. The film also profiles
positive stories of people?who found love,
were able to reconnect with long-lost
family members, or used the platform to
publicly mourn the memory of the
deceased. The film includes some
well-known stories, as well as others not
very well-known, and commentary from
experts in social media and journalism.
Shot on location in Canada, the US and
the UK, Facebook Follies is an engaging
journey – and cautionary tale -- through
one of today's most pervasive forces of
social communication.

ROOM TO BREATHE
By Russell Long
Inner city schools across the nation are in
serious trouble. In many cities, about half
of high school students drop out, and a
similar percentage of teachers leave after
just five years in the profession.
promising solution that has been tested in
several dozen public schools – a
self-regulatory technique called
mindfulness that increases kids' focus and
concentration, self-awareness and
impulse control.
The film presents a hopeful story of
transformation, following a young
mindfulness teacher, Megan Cowan, as
she spends several months attempting to
teach the technique to troubled kids in a
San Francisco public middle school that
tops the district in disciplinary
suspensions.
Confronted by defiance and contempt,
Cowan at first runs into substantial
difficulties in the classroom. But under her
guidance, the students begin to learn the
technique and eventually use it to take
greater control over their lives, decrease
stress, and better focus in class and at
home.
Based on the experiences depicted in the
film, as well as results at other schools and
independent academic studies, the
mindfulness technique appears to have
broad potential to significantly improve
kids' social interactions with peers and
adults, to reduce bullying and violence,
and to improve academic performance
and graduation rates.
Reviews
"Room to Breathe tells the story of a
special school community that has the
courage to try something positive,
enriching and innovative to support
their students. The principles learned
through the Mindfulness sessions -
focus, respect, calmness,
introspection - will be of great lifelong
value to the students, and, to the
teachers and parents who support
them." - Mary Jane Burke,
Superintendent of Schools, Marin
County
"Room To Breathe is a beautifully
crafted documentary and a must-see
for anyone who cares about
educating kids to be caring and
responsible citizens in the 21st
Century. More importantly, the
practice of mindfulness in schools is
truly the next frontier in education
reform. We will never close the
relentless achievement gap without
this kind of intervention. It's
contemporary, relevant, evidence
based, and it is working!" - Lisa
Villareal, Program Officer, Education,
The San Francisco Foundation
"This is a meaningful, moving, and
gutsy film that gives hope in the face
of adversity. This film provides a
powerful glimpse of what is possible
when mindfulness is offered in a
skillful manner to our youth in their
schools." - Philippe Goldin, PhD,
Department of Psychology, Stanford
University
