DESCRIPTION:March 17, 7-8:45 film showing; separate showing on March 26 at 3 pm in 
 Oakland\n\nTHE MASK YOU LIVE IN\n\nMan up!  Don't be a sissy!  Statistics 
 tell us that compared to girls, boys are more likely to flunk or drop out 
 of school, two times more likely to be in special education, and four times 
 more likely to be expelled.   Suicide is the third leading cause of death 
 for boys.\n\nThe Appreciating Diversity Film Series is proud to present the 
 award-winning documentary film, THE MASK YOU LIVE IN by Jennifer Seibel 
 Newsom, which explores the pressure for boys to "act like men."   For this 
 film we are pleased to have the Piedmont Parents Network (PPN), a support 
 group for parents of Piedmont Middle and High School students, as our 
 co-sponsor.\n\nTHE MASK YOU LIVE IN follows boys and young men as they 
 confront messages from media, peer groups and even adults in their lives, 
 encouraging them to disconnect from their emotions, devalue authentic 
 friendships, objectify women, and resolve conflicts through violence.  
 These gender stereotypes interconnect with race, class, and circumstance to 
 create a maze of identity issues boys and young men must navigate to become 
 "real" men. \n\nThe film includes interviews with experts in neuro-science, 
 psychology, sociology, sports, education, and media, offering substantial 
 evidence of the "boy crisis" and tactics to combat it. The Mask You Live In 
 illustrates how we, as a society, can raise a healthier generation of boys 
 and young men. \n\nThe Appreciating Diversity Film Series is sponsored by 
 the Piedmont Appreciating Diversity Committee and the Piedmont League of 
 Women Voters.\n\n2 FREE Screenings\n\nIn Piedmont:  Thursday, March
