DESCRIPTION:The Appreciating Diversity Film Series present two films from the upcoming 
 series "The Raising of America: Early Childhood and the Future of our 
 Nation".\n\n"Are We Crazy About Our Kids?" explores how investing in 
 high-quality early care and preschool pays for itself in many ways and many 
 times over.  Now economists are studying the costs and benefits of 
 high-quality and preschool and they're worried.  Not because we're spending 
 too much, but because we're spending too little where it matters most.  Our 
 system is paying for failure, rather than investing in success.  The 
 question:  What will we do about it?\n\n"Wounded Places" was filmed in 
 Oakland and Philadelphia and tells the stories of children shaken by 
 violence.  Too many American children, especially children of color in 
 neighborhoods of concentrated poverty, are exposed to adversity violence, 
 neglect and other forms of trauma.  They show symptoms similar to PTSD - 
 except there is no "post".  Of these children the film asks not "what's 
 wrong with you?" but "What happened to you?" and how can traumatized 
 children and neighborhoods heal?\n\nThe New Parkway is located at 474 24th 
 street, in Oakland near Telegraph.\nFood will be available for purchase. 
 The documentaries will be shown free of charge and open to the public. 3:00 
 - 4:15 for both documentaries.\nFor more information contact
