Dear Friends,
We are thrilled to share that Films BYkids Season Two airs in the New York metro area on Sundays from March 3rd to March 24th at 7:30 pm on WNET/THIRTEEN. Check your local PBS listings for the national schedule.
Season Two includes four new films by teens, addressing juvenile justice, the refugee crisis, child marriage and climate change. Ashley Judd returns as the series narrator. The films and educational materials are shared with three million teachers who engage their students in meaningful conversations about global issues and help them develop empathy.
As we share Season Two, we are creating Season Three, which will illuminate anti-Semitism, mental health, disability, sex trafficking and the toll of the digital age on kids. Join us as a donor!
