Documentaries meant to inspire and provide hope.

May 12, 2021: Angst

Angst has one goal: to start a global conversation and raise awareness around anxiety.

Through candid interviews, the power of film is used to tell the stories of teens who discuss their anxiety and its impacts on their lives and relationships, as well as how they’ve found solutions and hope. The film also includes a special interview with Michael Phelps, a mental health advocate and one of the greatest athletes of all-time. In addition, the documentary provides discussions with mental health experts about the causes of anxiety and its sociological effects, along with the help, resources and tools available.

“Angst captures what so many people are suffering in these complicated days: the bullying, perfectionism, panic, obsession, and too often, hopelessness. Angst is cathartic and ends with notes of hope. Every school needs to experience this program. It’s that important.” – Dr. John Duffy, Psychologist, Author

May 19, 2021: LIKE

LIKE is on a mission to inspire, inform and help equip all of us to effectively regulate screen time.

Social media is a tool and social platforms are a place to connect, share and care… but is that really happening? The film features in-depth interviews with teenagers reflecting on their own social media use, as well as experts including Max Stossel, Head of Education and Content at the Center of Humane Technology, Leah Pearlman, co-creator of the Facebook “Like” button and Dr Jerry Bubrick, Senior Psychologist at Child Mind Institute.

May 26, 201: The Upstanders

The Upstanders delves deep into cyber-bullying, showing the perspectives of those who bully, their victims, and the feelings of powerlessness against the abuse for those who love them.
Woven this is the very personal, first-hand account of a family’s tragic loss that inspired new legislation to turn the tide against this very real epidemic, the latest scientific and medical research, and strategies to help turn back the tide. With the enforced isolation, anxiety and increased screen time that has descended with the pandemic, we are living through a perfect storm for intense cyber-bullying, making this film even more vital viewing than before.
