GWS Co-Sponsored Event: "The Mask You Live In"

The next GWS co-sponsored event is coming up next week! There will be a film showing of The Mask You Live In on Wednesday, April 8 at 6 P.M.   

From the director of Miss Representation - an exploration of American masculinity.  Compared to girls, research shows that boys in the U.S. are more likely to be diagnosed with a behavior disorder, prescribed stimulant medications, fail out of school, binge drink, commit a violent crime, and/or take their own lives. Jennifer Siebel Newsom's new documentary film, The Mask You Live In, asks: As a society, how are we failing our boys?
