Resilience, a documentary that looks at the birth of the CDC-Kaiser Permanente Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Study and how it spawned a movement across the world, will be coming to your personal screen in April, says Lynn Waymer, KPJR Film’s community engagement strategist. 

The production team is working out the details to make the documentary, which premiered at Sundance Film Festival to sold-out houses, available to ACEsConnection.com members on Sunday, April 10, at 6 pm PT/ 9 pm ET. (We’ll provide details on how to access the sneak preview of the one-hour documentary closer to the date.) The week or two after the film is screened through ACEsConnection, we’ll host chats with some of the people who appear in Resilience. 

This is one of several screenings that the producers of Resilience, KPJR Films, are making available through early summer. Other screenings will be hosted with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, The California Endowment, Clifford Beers Clinic, the Center for Youth Wellness, and the Post-Traumatic Stress Center in New Haven, CT. The documentary will also be shown at several film festivals.

Beginning in August, Resilience will be available for screenings, especially for educators, at conferences and in communities, and will be distributed through TUGG.

And a reminder that the educational purchase license of Paper Tigers will be available to ship starting March 15 for K-12 schools, universities and public libraries. Paper Tigers is the companion documentary to Resilience. It follows six students through a year at Lincoln High School, in Walla Walla, WA., the first high school in the country to integrate trauma-informed and resilience-building practices based on the science of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs).
