DESCRIPTION:May 13 at 7 pm in Piedmont and June 27 at 3 pm in Oakland\n\nThe 
 Appreciating Diversity Film Series will screen two films on the public 
 funding of early childhood care and pre-school education:  \nAre We Crazy 
 About Our Kids? and Wounded Places.\nProduced by California Newsreel and 
 Vital Pictures, 2015\n\nIn the US, young mothers and working families 
 struggle to find time, money and resources to provide the nurturing 
 environments all babies and young children need to thrive-while too often 
 hindered by social conditions that put their children on low developmental 
 trajectories.\n\nThese films are part of a larger series, The Raising of 
 America: Early Childhood and the Future of our Nation.  The two films show 
 the enormous benefits gained for both children and the larger society when 
 early childcare and pre-school programs are well-funded, and the tragic 
 impact for our children and society when these programs are either not 
 available, or poorly funded and staffed. \n\nAre We Crazy About Our Kids? 
 looks at studies by prominent economists  who have studied the costs and 
 benefits of high-quality early care and preschool. And they're worried-not 
 because we're spending too much--but because we're spending too little 
 where it matters most.  The question is--what will we do about it? How 
 crazy are we about our kids?\n\nWounded Places: In Philadelphia and here in 
 Oakland, this episode chronicles the stories of children shaken by violence 
 and adversity and asks not "What's wrong with you?" but "What happened to 
 you?" and "How can traumatized children and neighborhoods heal?"\n\nTwo 
 FREE Screenings: One in Piedmont at 325 Highland Ave on May 13 at 7 
 pm\n\nIn Oakland:\nWhen: Saturday, June 27, 2015\n  3 PM Screening\n  4:15
