On Tuesday, March 10th the Sudbury-Wayland-Lincoln Domestic Violence Roundtable will present the new documentary film Reject at 7:00 pm in the Lincoln-Sudbury High School Auditorium, 390 Lincoln Road, Sudbury, MA. (Admission is free.)
Reject offers a powerful look at the cost of social rejection at a young age and a timely analysis of real life educational techniques to nurture positive social development from pre-school age up. The film highlights some of the devastating consequences for victims of chronic, repeated rejection over time. Not only is rejection hurtful, but it has the potential for erupting as violence. A study of the backgrounds of school shooters found that the majority were victims of ostracism.
For the Roundtable’s March 10th showing of Reject, we hope to attract individuals who are involved in any way with the lives of children: teachers, coaches, leaders of youth activities in faith communities and so forth. At this time the film is in “limited release” but later in 2015 it will be available for purchase at a modest cost.
Reject is a “must see” for any adult who parents, teaches, coaches, leads or is otherwise engaged with pre-school through high school children. The film can be used in workshops or training programs to raise awareness about ostracism and provide facts for discussion. Information about how to acquire the film will be distributed at the March 10th showing.
In addition, please contact anyone who you believe might be interested in attending. All are welcome.
