Description

NYC PREMIERE A timely, lyrical film that follows college students as they grapple with questions of sex, consent, identity, and power. The students spend a year creating an immersive play from their real-life experiences,  building characters and scenes based on the sexual politics of their campus. A film that respectfully captures vulnerable and fascinating young adults creating a space for deep reflection and learning, while discussing privilege, representation, allyship, and racism. - Ruth Somalo

The first screening will be followed by a Q&A with director Katie Mathews.
