April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM)
The Tale Film Screening & Post-discussion The Tale is a film written and directed by Jennifer Fox and based on Fox’s own survival of sexual abuse as a young teenager. Fox, the film’s protagonist, searches her memory to investigate her first sexual relationship. The film showcases dialogue between the adult Fox and the 13-year old version of herself. As a child, she wrote a story for her 8th-grade creative-writing class and, at that time, claimed it was fiction. Encountering the story again as an adult, after her mother finds the story, Jennifer begins a long road to a shocking realization of the sexual abuse she experienced as a child. This film will be introduced by Psychology Club students and a post-discussion will be facilitated by Lecturer in Psychology Michelle Ford. Light refreshments available.
