In time for the end of the fiscal year, we would like to offer you a 10% discount off the DVD of GOING ON 13, a candid and award-winning documentary exploring the complex lives of four diverse pre-teen girls as they navigate school, struggle with their families, and flirt with an intensely sexualized popular culture.
Along with its up-to-date 37-page discussion guide, GOING ON 13 is a crucial tool for educators in the fields of sociology, education, psychology, gender studies, youth development and more. Shot from the point of view of these incredibly resourceful and resilient young women, GOING ON 13 bridges the generation gap and helps spark essential dialogue about such difficult and sensitive issues as puberty, gender, race, class and diversity. With two girls of color in the White House, PBS-bound GOING ON 13 is a germane and fundamental film that goes far beyond traditional media coverage.
”A must see for anyone working in education, social work, or the allied fileds.”
—Karra Bikson, Assistant Professor, NYU’s Silver School of Social Work
