Movie screening
“Raise Your Voice”
7 p.m. Central Thursday, Nov. 19
“Raise Your Voice,” a documentary film from director and producer Maribeth Romslo, features student journalists from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, Parkland, Florida, and their experiences during the school mass shooting in 2018, as both survivors and journalists.
The documentary highlights youth free speech through the perspective of Mary Beth Tinker, plaintiff in the landmark 1969 Supreme Court ruling in Tinker v. Des Moines that established Constitutional free speech rights of public school students.
Romslo weaves the two events into the broader story of youth voices and their power through social movements.
