This Ain't Normal Film Screening
About this Event
Join us on July 27th for a special screening of the Emmy-nominated documentary This Ain't Normal, a film focused on violence, its impact on youth and the outreach workers who intervene every day. This will be followed by a powerful breakout discussion about the importance of violence prevention from community leaders and youth in Boston. Don't miss the opportunity to stay engaged with those doing meaningful gun violence prevention work!
This event will conclude with an invitation for a Youth Civic Engagement Event in April!
There is paid parking available at Ink Block (90 Traveler St, Boston, MA 02118) and GTI Properties (500 Harrison Ave and 274 Albony St).
This Ain’t Normal is an Emmy-nominated and award-winning documentary film that lasers in on this national crisis of gangs in major cities, introducing five young men, each with wrenching histories, and a proven Boston intervention model to help these endangered youngsters exit gangs. The street mentors reveal their own stories of gang life, J*il and trauma. With the street cred to win their young proteges’ trust, they redirect these youths to education, job training, and counseling. The take-away? As disastrous as gang violence is across U.S. cities, This Ain’t Normal unveils a workable solution, one that can lower the toll of J*il terms, gun violence, high homicides rates and help inner-city youth survive and thrive.
Special thanks to the , , Citizens for Juvenille Justince, and More Than Words for organizing this event!
