In recognition of Suicide Prevention Month, PTFF is offering this month’s PTFF Pics screening of THE S WORD free of charge. All donations made through this screening will be donated to local nonprofit The Benji Project. Their mission is to teach proven mindfulness and self-compassion tools to young people and their families and communities. Here is a powerful short film by The Benji Project sharing the experiences of Jefferson County young people during the pandemic.
Included in this screening is a conversation with PTFF Executive Director, Janette Force, Cynthia Osterman, founder of the Benji Project, and film director, Lisa Klein.
THE S WORD screened at the 2017 Port Townsend Film Festival and we thank PTFF for offering this encore screening at no cost.
