Screening of a new documentary on the social pressures faced by Black girls, followed by a discussion with director Chanel Dupree.
About this Event

The Reserve Film and Video Collection hosts the premiere screening of the documentary film You Think You Grown? Dismantling Adultification, which dissects the ways in which this seemingly innocuous rhetorical question has been imposed on Black girls throughout history to control their behavior and diminish their sense of self-worth. Following the film, director Chanel Dupree sits down with Reserve Film and Video Collection specialist Elena Rossi-Snook to discuss the film and the implications of adultification on Black girls and women today.

The What's Happening? bimonthly program series features films on issues of public concern and notable topics. The series aims to provide information on and stimulate conversation through the screening of new and historic works in the Reserve Film and Video Collection and discussion with special guests.
