Please stay after the film with a quick Q&A session to find out how you can help be a part of the solution to illiteracy.
SENTENCED is an immersive and vulnerable exploration of the epidemic of childhood illiteracy through a series of braided character-driven stories. Executive produced and narrated by 4x NBA basketball champion Stephen Curry. Filmed from the point of view of ethnically diverse adults and children who have never learned to read, SENTENCED is a forceful yet tender tale of how literacy can free children from the cycles of generational poverty.
This film event is a fundraiser for LYN House. LYN House is a community center located in the Windsor Park neighborhood. We offer phonics based after school tutoring for local kids. Tutoring is specifically designed with our students in mind. By pairing students with adults, there is an immediate connection between this generation and the next. In the process, tutors become mentors and students become friends. With our 1:1 tutoring, each student receives the attention they need to achieve the next level of their education. Like all good relationships, this time can also address spiritual, relational, or emotional needs. When it comes to supporting our local students, it's all hands on deck. LYN House is dedicated to meeting the needs of our community by helping our students achieve their learning goals and being a resource for our neighbors. For more information go to www.lynhouse.org
