Audience Quote – “The Bad Kids” "Thank you for creating such amazing voicing opportunities and for organizing a wonderful event. I sat in a row with quite a few of our teachers last night. They were crying, and one of them said to her partner sitting next to her, "That's me. That's my life." We had board members from the entertainment industry who got fired up by what they saw in terms of storytelling. We had retired teachers come to celebrate their students. Most importantly, I also sat behind a row of our current students. They said they felt reflected on the screen, and it was a great mentoring moment for them to talk to Gabriel after the screening. It was great to meet and talk with other educators... thank you for creating community last night." -- Raul Flores of artworxLA #PBS @pbsannualmtg #PBS @pbsannualmtg
