Featured Events: Film screenings and a theatre performace
The Southold School District will be featuring the documentary, “‘Race to Nowhere: Changing How We Prepare Our Children for Their Future” tonight at 6:30 p.m.
The film is about young people pushed to the brink, burned-out educators worried that students aren’t developing the skills they need and parents trying to do what’s best for kids. It also tells the story of a silent epidemic in schools: cheating, disengaged students and stress-related illness.
There will be a discussion led by Alison Byers following the documentary, which will be shown in the Southold High School auditorium on Oaklawn Avenue.
Another school-related documentary will be featured tonight at the Mattituck-Laurel Library, located on Main Road in Mattituck. Slow Food East End will presents “Lunch Line, the Documentary,” at 6:30 p.m. The documentary is about the impact of politics and private interests on school meals.
In addition to documentaries, a film and theather performance is scheduled for this evening.
The Floyd Memorial Library will show the 1985 Swedish film “My Life as a Dog,” which was directed by Lasse Hallstrom, at 6:30 p.m.
