Please join us for this free virtual screening and discussion of a new film from Anti-Bias Leaders ECE, Families Embracing Anti-Bias Values. This event will feature an introduction and Q&A by Debbie LeeKeenan, along with the screening of this important film, and a chance to participate in breakout sessions with your colleagues. We’re excited to bring this program to all early educators in western Massachusetts and throughout the state.
In addition to the virtual screening, we are offering an in person option for Western Mass Early Educators and Administrators to gather for networking, community building and a light breakfast. This in person opportunity is contingent on enrollment, and will be confirmed to in person registrants no later than Jan 30th.
Families Embracing Anti-Bias Values is a 50-minute documentary about families who intentionally parent with an anti-bias lens, exploring their hopes, fears, strengths, challenges, and the pivotal question: What kind of world do we want to create with our children? The film depicts these families in their everyday experiences at home, in their communities, and in schools.
Families Embracing Anti-Bias Values (2024) is a companion to Reflecting on Anti-Bias Education in Action: The Early Years (2021), which received the Silver Prize for Documentary Feature at the Social Justice Film Festival (2021) and a Northwest Regional Emmy® nomination for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (2022).
Produced by Debbie LeeKeenan and John Nimmo, and directed by Filiz Efe McKinney, the film is funded by a grant from the Tyler Rigg Foundation with support from Portland State University.
