December 7th Adam and I presented the film to the Grade 6 and 7 classes at a local school today. It was the first time I had presented the film to an audience of kids and the response was phenomenal. The kids were really engaged and had great questions and comments. All directed to Adam. They were genuinely moved and interested in how things are going for him these days. One boy asked: “Have you had your first kiss yet”. And when Adam proudly said yes, the whole group whooped and cheered. Another boy asked if its hard for Adam to watch the film these days, it being so personal and revealing. Adam answered that it is hard, and that the film was sad. The boy agreed and told the whole group that he had cried while watching it. Quite brave I thought for a 13 year old.
