Weds, Oct 20th: 'First Person' screening and panel

"First Person" playing for a Bryn Mawr College audience

On Wednesday evening four Parkway students came to Bryn Mawr College for a screening of the "First Person" film. Before the screening Myiesha, Aaron, Ramire, and Dominique ate dinner in the dining hall with three of students featured in the film and the filmmaker.

The film screening was well attended by members of the Bryn Mawr community. After watching the film there was a panel discussion featuring  Ben Herold (the film director) and the students of First Person as well as Lisa Nutter (President of Philadelphia Academies and First Lady of Philadelphia), Kate Shaw (Executive Director of Research for Action), Azsherae Gary (Bryn Mawr senior), and our own Aaron Jones (Parkway West HS senior).







The film, and the conversation afterward were quite provocative and it was great to have some of the Parkway class at Bryn Mawr for the screening and the panel.
