DESCRIPTION:Oct 27, 6:30 pm reception, 7:00 film, 8:30 discussion in Piedmont, and Oct 
 19, 3-4:30 at the New Parkway Theater, 474 24th Street in Oakland\n\nAudrie 
 & Daisy  is an urgent real-life drama that examines the ripple effects on 
 families, friends, schools and communities when two underage young women 
 find that sexual assault against them has been caught on camera and 
 distributed online.  From acclaimed filmmakers Bonni Cohen and John Shenk, 
 "Audrie & Daisy"-- which made its world premiere at the 2016 Sundance Film 
 Festival -- takes a hard look at America's teenagers who are coming of age 
 in this new world of social media bullying, spun wildly out of 
 control.\n\n"Audrie & Daisy" will be presented FREE in both Piedmont and 
 Oakland by the Appreciating Diversity Film Series and by Piedmont Parents 
 Network.  The film was co-produced by documentary filmmaker and Piedmont 
 High School alum Sara Dosa, who will be in attendance to facilitate a 
 discussion after the film on October 27.\n\nThe directors were motivated by 
 what they saw:  "We are struck by the frequency of sexual assaults in high 
 schools across the country and have been even more shocked by the pictures 
 and videos, posted online--almost as trophies--by teens that have committed 
 these crimes.  This has become the new public square of shame for our 
 adolescents.  Unfortunately, the story of drunken high school parties and 
 sexual assault is not new.  But today, the events of the night are recorded 
 on smartphones and disseminated to an entire community and, sometimes, the 
 nation. Such was the case for Audrie Pott from Saratoga, California and 
 Daisy Coleman, from Maryville, Ohio, 15- and 14-year old girls, living 
 thousands of miles apart but experiencing the same shame from their 
 communities."\n\nWe invite you to this moving and meaningful film so that 
 you can understand more about the world teenagers live in today.\n\nThe 
 Appreciating Diversity Film Series is sponsored by the Piedmont 
 Appreciating Diversity Committee, Piedmont League of Women Voters, Piedmont 
 Adult Education, and the City of Piedmont.\n\nFree, no RSVP needed, usually 
 all are able to find seats.\n
