The Philadelphia Project - Movie Screening

Join the Fox Rothschild Center for Law and Society for a FREE screening of The Philadelphia Project. This film reveals an intimate transformation of 16 Strawberry Mansion High School students. Shot almost entirely in one classroom over the course of seven months, this cinema vérité film offers a rare glimpse inside the hearts and minds of youth who are rarely asked how they think and feel. Though the project was never intended to be a documentary, the journey of the students was very insightful, and they wanted to share their journey. This event is being co-sponsored by the U.S. Attorney's Office, Eastern District of PA, and the Pennsylvania Bar Association. See links to film trailers below.

Immediately following the film, join us for a lively discussion with the filmmaker, Christopher Erahm, and other key stakeholders.

Please feel free to invite others to participate. The event is open to the community to attend. Please bring photo ID to enter the building. 

When: Tuesday, Aug. 8
Time: 10 a.m.-12 p.m.
Where: Bonnell Building, Large Auditorium, Room BG-20
