These days, media literacy is more important than ever—Americans spend an average of 10.5 hours a day with the media: television, movies, the internet, billboards, newspapers, magazines, and radio. Join representatives from The Bronx River Art Center, ProTV and The Ghetto Film School to view films created and produced by urban youth. Moderated by Jordi Torrent, media literacy consultant and Amnesty International NYC activist.
