A crowd of 2,000+ educators in Topeka, KS…120 staff, board members, youth and invited guests at Hanna Boys Center in Sonoma, CA…41 people at the Sonoma County (CA) Public Health Department….wherever Paper Tigers is screened, it’s being greeted enthusiastically, and often…very often…with tears of joy.
In Topeka, KS, the documentary — about how Lincoln High School’s trauma-informed approach to education changed the lives of six students — played to more than 2,000 teachers, principals, counselors, administrators and staff of the Topeka Public Schools, 70% of whom had never heard about the ACE Study. In their responses to a survey, hundreds of people said the movie has inspired them to integrate trauma-informed practices into their lives and work.

The Paper Tigers site also provides a host-a-screening kit, which includes press releases, digital fliers, Facebook posts, etc. And if you want a Paper Tigers representative to attend the screening, you can make a request. There’s an extra charge.
