WET's RISK TAKERS FILM SERIES, WET’s EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM:
WET's Risk Takers Film Series uses film as a launching pad for discussion to teach girls how to look at the media with a critical eye, and to distinguish empowering risks from damaging risks. The program is designed to bolster girls’ self-esteem, and provide them with communication and leadership tools to support their dreams and the steps needed to make their dreams come true. Now preparing for it's fifth year, WET's Risk Takers has helped hundreds of New York City teenage girls address and investigate issues of peer pressure, body image, eating disorders, sexuality, drugs, alcohol, racism, sexism, harassment, teen pregnancy, safe sex and more. An exciting component of the program is the participation of the celebrated female guest artists who are emblematic female Risk Takers in the media. Guest artists include: Frances McDormand, Mary-Louise Parker, Kerry Washington, Olympia Dukakis, Audra McDonald, Lili Taylor, Kelly McGillis, Nikki Blonsky and Alison Lohman just to name just a few.
